1) Never had a convertible, wasn't necessarily something I was going for. DO you lose headroom with the top down? Other than the obvious, are their other advantages or disadvantages to the convertible? (Replacing cover after a couple years, greater depreciation?) (Apparently there is a coupe 2SS in Colorado, but nothing west of there, just a couple convertibles)

2) Is a 2017 F1FTY going to hold value better than a regular model?

3) Sticker price is 56K, dealer is quoting 47K, is this a good deal for a F1FTY? It has Magnetic Ride Control and Dual Performance Exhaust.

Thanks for any help on this!
Others have already hit most of the answers. The Vert is quieter inside with the top up (closed) than previous models. Not the same as a coupe obviously.
Again if you’re looking for track use, go for the coupe. Looking for touring around thru canyons and such, get the Vert. Unlimited headroom when down.
If maintained properly the top should last quite a while.
Lack of usable trunk space applies if you want to have the top down, and the opening for the trunk is a bit smaller.
Mine is similar to what you’re describing. Absolutely a blast to drive.


BTW, these Verts are almost as stiff chassis-wise as our coupe brethren. Very well put together.

Sorry if I posted in the wrong spot. There is "fifty" somewhere in car, think it's the steering wheel center. It's stored (because of 3 feet snow!) but I thought 50th anniv when I posted. Got me curious now. Car was supposedly special ordered; 'least what the dealer said???
Maybe I got a mongrel?
I took the stripes off---getting way too many rubber-neckers, and felt it could get too much attention (cop-magnet)
The ladies like it better without, too.

Not a mongrel. My wife's Camaro also has the the FIFTY badge on the wheel, but it isn't an H50 50th Anniversary package. It's a 2017 Camaro in Garnet Red Tintcoat, which all '17s have that badge.

2017 Camaros with the H50 package only come in Nightfall Gray Metallic, but not all NGM Camaros are 50th Anniversary cars, they MUST have the H50 package.

Ahhhh.....the old squares and rectangles analogy. All squares are rectangles but not all rectangles are squares.
