I LOVE My convertible,
but...I dont race(my car weighs over 3700 lbs.w/out all the add-ons!!)
I LOVE the sun(you can get a great tan when you go for a few hour road trip.
My leather's allready cracked...so, till I get it fixed, no big deal..
Haven't expierenced the thieving yet. Hopefully never will...which reminds me, my garage is open now, better go close it.
I've seen a Cobra Conv. really beefed up, it has about 500 h.p. But, they are extremely heavy, and FoX Body's right, if you run a certain times you've GOT to have a roll cage, helmet,etc.etc. And its not a necessarily fast time. Wanna think like 13's or something, but I could be wrong. But, that's only at the track, street wouldn't make any difference. Depends on how serious you wanna be about racing, or if you just wanna have a nice cruiser too!
Once you get in a convertible, you'll be hooked. I know I was. You either love 'em or you dont!!!!

Drive a couple of different ones around, and see what you think....Topless
