Definitely NOT a waste of money if you appreciate power and handling. The extra weight and softer springs won't make a huge difference.
OTOH a V6 vert w/pony package would handle great and be significantly cheaper if you can give up the acceleration and sound of the V8.

Sorry Pirate, but the GT is not a muscle car. It requires a lot more hp to be classified a muscle car. It is a sports car. And again the OP wasnt asking about performance but reliability and handling. And it seems he has the info he was seeking. I enjoyed the debate.
"Just to restore some perspective, the big hoopla about the redesigned Mustang is its resurrection of the American muscle car. Er, the V6 is not a muscle car"

The GT is not a Muscle Car??? Better alert Muscle car magazine and many others.
Does this mean that the Vette is a Muscle Car (more HP than the GT) and not a sports car??

A convertible top adds about 80 lbs to the rear, which improves the front/rear weight ratio and theoretically the perfomance. Thus a convertible top shouldn't dissuade you from getting a GT.

My advice is to drive both of them (v6 and GT) and see which one puts a bigger smile on your face! It's really more about what the car say's about you than you about it.

I went to the Ford Dealer Parts department and the guy looked at me like I had four heads, do you have the part number for the plenum cover?

I bought a GT Premium convertible 2 weeks ago, had been shopping it for a month. I am in WI and there were a bunch of GT premiums with MT, they are not that hard to come by.
