[align=center][/align][/align]Top up, the fabric roof seals well and looks fabulous--something we can't say for all the Mustang's ragtop rivals. Shut either door with the glass up, and the pane will drop slightly to ease closing effort and rise to the closed position to make a sufficient seal. The view out the good-size glass back window, with fewer blind spots, is better than in most convertibles. Wind noise is not a factor at highway speeds, though the GT convertible is far noisier inside than a coupe because there's fabric instead of steel between you and the motorboat-like V-8 rumble out the dual pipes. Undo the two header latches, press the switch above the rearview mirror, and the side windows and top motor down in about 15 seconds.[/align]Stoplight to stoplight, the GT Convertible has got game. The rumbling 300-horse 4.6-liter V-8 doesn't do much for the element of surprise, but it won't fail to deliver on its performance promise, either. In a straight line at least, the Mustang GT Convertible runs with some cars costing twice as much. Its 5.2-second 0-to-60 performance is on par with that of the Maserati Spyder, BMW 645Ci, and Audi S4 Cabriolets--and for a milquetoast Chrysler Sebring or Toyota Camry Solara convertible price.

Guess it depends on which magazine wrote it... still has less TQ than an LT1 did though...

i beata kid with a new mustang gt with my lt1 camaro, he had intake and exhaust. I put about 1 1/2 cars on him, but then again he was a pretty crappy driver

 

You are wrong!! Dead wrong! The LT1 CANNOT beat the new GT!! The LT1 driver beat the GT driver!! Beat the driver not the car blablabla....Now that's is not me saying that. In fact I had got into a huge arguement with a Cobra owner about it. Now I'm not saying that the GT is not fast nor am I saying that the LT1 is faster. I've seen GT's at the track and they are quick and with a good driver they post great times. I've seen LT1's post quick times too. From what I've seen they are pretty evenly matched but I'm sure I'll be corrected by someone.

 

the times I usually see have the mustang a little faster, but they are closish.

 

I know that he should have beat me, but it was awsome because the kid always talks about how he walks all over ls1's (which isalie because i talked to a kid who beat him in his ls1). And always makes up random stuff like how his throttle body will add 50 hp and random other bs.

 

Stock for stock the new GT will take an LT1. A bolt-on LT1 will take a new GT though (and I have a timeslip to prove that one...).

 

on the flip side... a 93 LT1 Camaro, being less than 1/10 slower than a new GT in the 1/4 is not saying much for the 15yr newer ford... Like said, open the VERY RESTRICTIVE exhaust on the LT1 and it WILL beat it, hands down...
