Lowering the top of the 2005 Mustang GT doesn’t mean lowering performance–that’s good news for al fresco advocates. The extra six inches of wheelbase gives the car a road-ready look and a more classic dash-to-axle perspective in keeping with the Mustang’s 1960s roots. The added length and structure does pile on some pounds–nearly 200 of them–but the new three-valve iteration of Ford’s modular 4.6-liter SOHC V-8, with 40 more ponies than last year’s two-valve version, makes up for the added girth. These six inches are also put to good use in the Mustang’s cabin. Ergonomics are improved, and the firm front buckets are generously sized; legs can stretch out and knees needn’t be wedged against the dash, unlike in last year’s Mustang. In theory, the Mustang convertible is a four-passenger car, but gymnastics might be needed for climbing in back. There’s enough headroom for a six-footer, though tucking and folding the lower appendages into the tiny rear seat footwells requires negotiation with those riding up front. Trunk space, while better than the outgoing drop-top’s, is still skimpy compared with that of other four-seat convertibles like the Chrysler Sebring and Toyota Camry Solara. It’s skimpier still if the $1295 optional Shaker 1000 audio system is ordered, which comes with a computer-monitor-sized trunk-mounted subwoofer.

The Ford Mustang convertible defines top-down motoring in America. Some 980,478 examples hit the road from 1964 through 2002, and you can still see some of the 145,231 first-generation (’64-’66) cars cruising the streets near any high school as if the ’60s had never ended.With its classic proportions, muscle-bound skin, and flashy interior trim, the Mustang convertible is a visual trip right back to that first decade. It looks just as good as the coupe. Many of us have run our mouths about the retro obsession of J Mays, Ford’s styling director, but we have to thank him for the Mustang, which is retro done right. It makes for a driving experience that’s just as good as this car looks. When you bend the Mustang GT convertible into a corner, it takes a set quickly, unlike the previous-generation car, which feels like an old, creaky sailing ship in comparison. Broken pavement will shake the new convertible’s steering wheel and windshield header, but these motions are damped out quickly. Just like the coupe, the convertible works its front tires effectively, and the steering delivers quick, linear action. The convertible also rides well on the Mustang’s four-link, live-axle rear suspension with its low-pressure, gas-charged Tokico dampers. Drive this car at a swift but relaxed pace, and it’s fine; if you want real hard-bitten cornering dynamics, you’ll start by fitting bigger tires than the GT’s 235/55WR-17s.
