I'd like to have both but I'll be buying the hardtop first.

I've never been a convertible person, especially with a high performance car/muscle car. Bigger or more luxury type cars are fine with drop tops. I like T-tops and sunroofs, but I like them best on sports cars or sport compacts. I have to have my muscle cars and really high performance cars as hard tops, which is one of the main reasons why I greatly prefer the Viper GTS over the R/T 10.

Back in my (much) younger days, I had a VW "Thing" that was only produced as a ragtop. That car was so ugly that the ragtop didn't make any difference. I agree, the hardtop version of the Challenger looks better than the ragtop version.

Wow Dusty, I've lost so much respect for you with that admission about the "THING".[sm=icon_stickpoke.gif][sm=joke.gif]

Awesome 'chop! I love it. I think I personally will wait for the ragtop. I will test drive it first though since my old 98 Cobra ragtop shook like there was a perpetual earthquake going on. Sold it.

This thing looks good with no top.

Nice photo shop job!! I think it looks awesome, but for a car with 350+HP, I prefer the hard top. Plus the soft tops require more maintance, replacements, etc.
