Is an 03 cobra convert a lot slower then an 03 cobra coupe??

Is the added 100lbs on the cobra convert compared to the coupe make it a lot slower? whats the quarter mile and 0-60 difference compared to the coupe and the convert? looked on the net but all i found was weight dif, and coupe 0-60 being 4.5.

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

ok thanks a lot. cause i intend on gettin one within the next few months and just wanted to make sure that a convert wouldnt disapoint me at the track later on. i intended to stiffen the car anyway. thanks.

~.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.
