If you’re waiting for an S550 GT500 Convertible it may be time to settle for the coupe. In an interview with Ford Authority, representatives from Ford confirmed that there will not be a GT500 convertible. This break in Mustang tradition is rooted in some very legitimate concerns by the Ford team which lead to the coupe only S550 GT500.
The S550 GT500 Mustang is the most capable factory Mustang ever built, but to achieve this level of performance sacrifices had to be made. For starters, the traditional manual transmission that was available on Mustang GT500s since the beginning is now gone. In its place is a Tremec 8-Speed dual-clutch automatic that can shift faster than you can blink.
