no sheesh from the dead. Probably from the bracing required to strengthen it up from the hardtop being cut.1978 Formula 461 in progress of being built :rock:

For a T-Top VS hard top car, there is no extra bracing done.
For a Vert VS Hard top (Or t-top) yes, there is bracing, hence vert cars being heavier.
I would think that for the most part the T-Top should be just about dead even with the hard top. You lose part of the rail above each door with T-Tops, but you gain two glass pannels, vs the fiberglass roof.1997 Cayenne Red Metallic Camaro<br />3.8 V6 M5<br />SLP Cold Air Intake<br />Ceramic Coated Pacesetter Headers <br />Flowmaster American Thunder Catback<br />Full 3.42 & Disc Break Rear End SwapComment

Since it's back from the dead, I guess I'll have my fun with it.
My Camaro on June 21, 2003, 10:51:01 AM officially weighed in at 3400 lbs (1/2 tank of gas) according to the Tennessee Department of Safety Commercial Vehicle Enforcement! :D

3600 pounds and change with me and 3/4s of a tank of gas, and nothing else in it.
Go to a rock quarry, and if they're a pain about it, go buy a few pounds of rocks (they're cheap).
