It won't make much of a difference, the extra flex might make hooking up a little more difficult.

~.2 seconds tends to be the general difference

The general equation is you gain about .1 per hundred pounds lost, so as long as you get some subframe connectors and can drive you won't even notice. My next car is going to be an 03/04 Cobra, and I won't be buying a convertible again. But not because of speed, I just don't like the way they look as much with the top up, and I rarely put the top down. In FL its either too hot or too rainy.
