There are numerous automobiles that enthusiasts should try at least once. There are even some that they should own to fully understand their magic. But, a generic red Mustang convertible is not on that list. No offense to Momhawk or yourself.
No offense taken. Not my first car of choice either.

That said, there is some magic associated with the Mustang convertible going back to it's roots almost 60 years ago. It has nothing to do with being a muscle car, because for the most part, it isn't. It's that "pony car" heritage of riding the open road with the top down and just enjoying the cruise. It has a carefree attitude about it you don't get from huge HP or smoking tires.
