Is your insurance high then? My 24 GT/CS Convertible only runs me $90 a month for the maximum coverage Progressive offers.

Insuring a convertible Dark Horse SC will be leaps and bounds more expensive than a GT/CS vert. Not even in the same ball park.

Reason #1 - Registered at 795 hp.
Reason #2 - Cost to repair - Much higher due to supply and demand.
Reason #3 - The insurer will assume the owner operator will at some point let it rip. Many high powered expensive vehicles in the wrong hands end up as scrap metal.
and so on.........

Unlikely. It’ll cost a bit more because it’s price is double so that’s a given. But the people who buy convertible mustangs are generally pretty boring. It won’t be wildly more expensive. It’s not like we’re talking about a Charger Scat Pack or a Prius here. True story my wife’s old 2015 Prius was the most expensive vehicle to insure I’ve ever owned.

another thing, the From the Road article by Ford gives us the definitive answer to how high that 5.2L revs in the SC. the answer is 7550 rpm

so, Ford only lowered it 100 rpm from the GTD, which makes me happy. i got rather concerned upon the SC's initial reveal and some pictures showed a ~7300 rpm redline

My 2023 ZL1 Vert was rated to 200mph

I'm tempted. That 5 2 and DCT sound mighty attractive. And for probably the same price as a boxster, it's more useful with the 4 seats and won't cost a fortune to service. And while I still think the Shelby's look better, the engine in this case is more than just a coyote with a whipple.

HOWEVER, not in that purple color. And not in black because that'll hide the aesthetics. And I would need spoiler delete option. I have some books at home but I don't need a bookshelf THAT big.

Possibly in one of these colors (AI generated).
