Well they both have the same weaknesses and faults but I'd pick the coupe GT500. The only reason people would pick any convertible over a coupe would be for style and the wind in your hair. For me the GT500 coupe's roofline looks damn sexy so it looks better than soft-top and I'd rather have the increased performance than wind in my hair.

I'd defintely take the convertible one, it looks a lot better than the Hard top, the Convertible doesn't have those ugly white strips going through the bonnet and the rear trunk like the hard top. the convertible i don really knwo thier actual accurate specs but I'm taking the convertible one more over for it's looks.

This is easy. I would definitely take the coupe. It may lose the experience of wind in your face and hair but it's faster overall because it more aerodynamic and it creates less drag. It's also a soft top so it would look ugly with the top on. Oh, and it also has the stripes which make it look sportier...

oooh! i was impressed by the title but then i was super depressed when i saw that they were all new GT500s, darn, i would have voted the old one in a heartbeat...

anyways, the convertible is basically ugly, the soft top and those red leather seats exposed makes it worse...the cars should have been anti-striped, that makes them a hell lot sexier, lol, anyways, onto the both cars...

the convertible is not rigid enough than the coupe, so, that ruins a little bit of the handling, which i think is quite improtant for an american car, if you easily loose control, i wont bother with driving the thing...

and the coupe looks somehow more agressive than the convertible, and thats why i chose the coupe...
