Quite the complimentary article in the latest Car and Driver on the convertible GT. Great rigidity and the fastest GT they have tested to boot.

Yeah I enjoyed the article, and im in love with the Stang convertible Just need to know some about safety which C&D didnt talk about! (See my other post on this board!) Thast weird that they got better accelleration numbers. Im sure it just has to do with differences in testing conditions/testing unit, but it makes you question the numbers they get for everything else. Still, a CONVERTIBLE that is almost as solid as the coupe, looks just as good wtih the top down, does around 5 seconds to 60, and handles basically as well with the only downside being an extra $5k makes for an amazing car. Could blow away a Z roadster, S2K, boxster s, audi tt roadster, and many other hot cars, and it has a backseat thats good for 2 people who don't have any legs! (or for your **** ) While the GTO is faster than the stang coupe, you cant get a GTO convertbile!

I have one coming--can't wait.

I can't find the issue yet; did you get it thru your subscription?

By the way; I know where there is a new redfire gt vert available in GA. It was ordered for me, but I'm going to pass because I have another one coming. Just want to see it go to a good home.
