The '11-'12 convertibles have way better chassis bracing and run better shocks/springs, handle better and suffer less fowl shake. If you just want a brutish cruising car the 2010s are a hell of a good deal though.
Matt,

Thanks for the advice, I can use it.

I was going to ask you about the Shelbys. I had no idea you were keeping FoMoCo so busy.

Actually just started to look into them.

Cowl shake is a huge issue for me as well.

Heard the newer ones don't have the SC whine. That's not gonna be good for anyone.
