Any cars where the convertable is lighter than the hard top?
« on: September 14, 2010, 01:16:10 PM »
I realize that the trend is that the convertable model is usually about 300+ lbs more than a hard top version for most cars.  Are there any exceptions to this rule?

I think all cop cars need to have turbo. nbspnbsp Then they would understand the necessity of putting your foot down and how uncontrollable the urge is to fucking rail on that shit.

If the car was a coupe and then made into a vert, it will ALWAYS be heavier due to the chassis bracing needed.
