I love my '95 GT vert
. The convertible mustang is such a fun car to drive so I would say get the convertible. Maybe the reason why most people buy hardtops is because they dont think the extra couple grand is worth the convertible, but also it's a fact that hardtops weight some 200lbs. less than the verts. for racing. Racers would proabably prefer hardtops over verts because it's roof would stiffen the chassis and you wouldnt have to worry about killing yourself if you flipped. All things to consider. But I say, buy a '95 (last of the 5.0s) GT vert and slap a rollbar in that thing and your set to race!
