Default Verts weight..

If you line up beside a coupe (2 door) he has an empty back and you have two people riding back there. Hard to overcome. But the babes love the vert:icon_bigg

The weight difference is about 290# (300# some years), with the bulk of the extra weight in steel bracing to replace some of the unibody rigidity lost to the missing tin roof. The rest of the weight comes from the rear seat power windows and the power roof mechanisms.

Convertibles are NOT the choice for serious drag racers - they are lots of fun and the sense of freedom with the top down and blasting down a mountain road is hard to duplicate.

They are also serious babe magnets - no lie.

If I race a coupe I may not win, but at least I'll get to drive away with all the hot chicks riding in my vert.

Good enough for me. :glasses1:
