GT 500 convertible will it be made for 2020?

[MYSNAKE]

Just wanted to see how many people believe a 2020 GT500 convertible will be available. The convertible would be the main competition to the ZL1 convertible I think, maybe Ford has a surprise still up its sleeve for us.

Or make 1 if you have deep pockets

I honestly question if the S550 chassis can handle the drivetrain as a convertible. That was the one big advantage with the Camaro was the torsional rigidity vs our chassis. Not sure.

I don't have those types of resources $$$$.

Meh.

My '07 GT500 vert, the only convertible I've owned (outside of Jeeps), was the biggest mistake I've made buying a car. If it would have been a coupe I'd probably still have it.

Yeah, I mentioned it months ago, doesn't seem totally unreasonable: the previous gen GT500 was available as a convertible, GM offers both the ZL1 Camaro and Z06 Vette in convertibles, there's the Merc GT-C, Porsche TT-S Cab - there's plenty of people who love convertibles and drive the hell out of them - I suspect it's not so much the marketing message, but some technical concern like @Darkane pointed out.

When I went to my dealer to inquire about ADM on a GT500, they noticed my '18 Convertible and asked whether or not I was interested in the Convertible version. I'm not sure how knowledgeable my dealer is in this regard though. Still, when a sales person approached me and I asked about the GT500, he had to refer me to another sales person who was part of a small team that was designated as the only members of the sales staff to handle the GT500. I don't take this as even close to any kind of proof, but it's interesting nevertheless...

They are clueless. Not to be unexpected.

This is a sports muscle car. Not a Barbie cruiser.

It would really surprise me because the gt350 has been around for years and guess what, no convertible.
