I can't remember but it was in the neighborhood of 60-65K

But the salesman told me they are only recieving 30 over the next 2 years and they are all already spoken for. So even if you wanted to go buy one today. To bad.

What a waste.... convertible? Plus, take the stripe off of it and you pretty much have a regular mustang, looks wise at least. Would have been nice to see a little more "Shelby" in it so to speak.

Yah stripes would have been nice, but for some reason i don't think they come on the convertibles.

I disagree in that I think it looks quite a bit different than a Mustang GT. Different rear bumper, rear spoiler, front bumper, front grill, front lip, hood, side skirts, badging (obviously), wheels, tire size, etc. etc.

It really is a completely different animal and at a glance you know its not your average mustang. Thats for sure.

A 500hp convertible a waste? I can think of worse ways to get around town..

(for the record I like the coupe better w/stripes) :D

Coupe is a million times better. If you want to turn a man-car into a chick car, make it a convertible*.



*Just my opinion of course for all you convertable fans who might get your feelings hurt. ;)
