Default Who has the lightest Convertible??

How much does a convertible weigh as compared to a coupe? Is it even possible to get the convertible lighter than the coupe while maintaing A stock look. So who has the lightest droptop?

well, i dont remeber exactly but im easily past the 3600 mark. Im sure u could make it lighter than a coupe, just have to be careful about what u sacrifice to mantain that "stock" look. Had a buddy with a 98 SS remove all the supports from the nose of his car, including all the foam and i swear if u sneezed on the nose it would rip off.

Dustin has a pretty light vert, it would make some of the hardtop guys jealous.
