Coupe because the convertable has weld-in subframe connectors to keep it more rigid.

As a wild guess I would have to say that the coupe is exactally 138.9 lbs lighter . Which is about .1-.2 sec in the quarter.

Haha, I was gonna say something like "I think it's about..." before my last post and act like I hadn't looked it up. [8D]
