Curious what everybody thought of that comment by him.

Well your neighbor is partially correct, the convertible is the slower Z... Its heavier and has the same HP. Base Z will beat you in your vert if the drivers are equal...
If I'm not mistaken you vert Z weighs around 3600 pounds vs base Z that weighs around 3200 pounds. Every 100 pounds is equivelent to 10 hp or a tenth at the track (rule of thumb numbers).
So if your concerned and want to be faster without modding your motor then put your Z on a diet.
A lotus Elise with 190 HP would destroy your Z simply due to power to weight ratio.
