Or maybe it's just a springboard to a roadster?

Surely the vert is heavier??
Or are they identical in weight, suspension, bracing etc?
Yep the Coupe is the heavier by 10 kg and it's in the wrong place too, as the roof moves the C Of G higher as well. A number of road testers had the roadster a fraction quicker off the line than the Coupe. Possibly due to a little more squat from the slightly more compliant set up. :thumbsup: Plus with the roof down the roadster looks better IMHO. So a no brainer for me. :D

ROADSTERS RULE :P :driving: 8)

Coupe is torsionally stiffer though, none of that pesky scuttle shake. :poke:
