Well, I'm only a couple of days away from trading in my 2000 V6 Stang for a 96 or 97 GT 5-speed. I was looking at some convertibles of that era and my question is: I heard that a convertible is much heavier than a hardtop.

Is that true?

I like the '96-97 GT convertibles but I don't want to be driving a car that is too heavy.

My girlfriend likes the GT convertible that we saw (from that year) and she was like; "Get that one BABY"

I would get the convertible but I heard they are heavier than the hard tops because of they have to equal the weight - or something.
