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.

Not here in Northern Calif. In fact, the local dealer, where I got my GT, doesn't keep any in stock for very long. He parks every GT he gets out in front, balloons attached to the antenna. Invariably, every car is gone within a week.
