Tim,
Thanks for the reply from the UK. Interesting that the European cars do not come with the strut brace. Wonder why?
I realize that coming from razor sharp handling will be a big change but as has been said that the GT is more of a true Grand Tourer and handles like one. I tend to exploit the sharp corners in the P because that is where it excels. With the Mustang, it excels in other areas which can be just as satisfying for some. I will never track either car so will be restricted to what one can do safely on public roads.
How would you assess the noise level in the convertible compared to the coupe?
In some cars such as the Boxster and Corvette the convertibles are actually quieter than the coupe or hardtop models.
Seems that the hardtops amplify the road and tire noise and it tends to bounce off the metal or fiberglass roof..
