T-Top should weigh more, due to the glass.

The weight distribution I think on our cars (FBody) is actually pretty good for 4th gens with how far back our motor sits. I vaguely remember a discussion here about that, and it's something like 55/45.

I do. If you have a T-Top, I'd weigh one, then x2 and that'd be a fair amount on what it is. The sheet metal that's removed in their stead is not but maybe 3lbs each side (2lbs I think is more like it).
