Default Coupe vs roadster

IMHO, I have noticed that it seemed to me a good percentage of owners that build, or had a coupe built for them sold it soon after.
Don't get me wrong, i'm not against them , as a matter of fact,
I wish I had one. I love the look of the car.
But the fact remains that it is a totally different feeling
riding in one, vs the other.
I have a 69 mach one fastback mustang great car,
great condition gets gobs of attention and thumbs up, and I love it!
BUT, it no way it even comes close to giving you the same feeling
as driving an open roadster.
I would suspect it sort of the same feeling (an enclosed car)
if you have ever sat in one of the coupes,
(I sat in a superformance) it is a much more confined feeling.
The side windows slope in and are very close proximity to your shoulders.
I'm kind of a big guy, maybe for road racing, or an occasional cruise
here and there, but overall NOT the same at all.
Kinda like apples and oranges, both are good... just different.
Hey, pass the fruit bowl please...........
