However for those of us who bought this roadster, I dont think we really think or care about losing out on the top speed or 0 to 60 times compared to the coupe.
For me this roadster is plenty rigid and handling is as good as the coupe after having driven both.
The reviews are a bit misleading. They say it was initially designed as a roadster but that's from a "looks" concept, not a structural one. Rule of thumb is if it's 200 lbs heavier, it's added big support structure underneath to stop flexing. That said, I agree with m4a1mustang on the summer day advantages!
