Default Convertible 4th gen

Anyone ever see convertible 4th gen drag cars? I am just wondering before I put all this time and money into my car if it would be worth it or not. Are there any single digit convertibles out there? If so, what cage set ups did they do, etc., etc.
I know weight is one factor but it is not that big of a deal. Is there any other problems you run into with the chasis being a convertible? Thanks

Do you have any information or links on that car? I tried searching his name but didn't find anything on it.

Thanks.

ARE had a really nice '98+ SS that was triple black and WICKED!!! i don't know what happened to the car after the huge fiasco they went through with customers. i say go for it. if you want to lose some of the added weight of a vert, remove the motor & pump assy and make it a manual top. just an idea.
