ok but who gets a convertible to race?

Yeah, pigfat, pignosed trash hardtop convertibles are fat. Are we going to entirely ignore the fact that an M4 coupe still weighs two fucking tons? There's no reason it should be tipping the scales more than a fucking V8 powered 5 Series from years ago.
Of course, there's no reason besides making a bait thread for you to have not posted a purpose built convertible such as the Miata (2200lbs) as an example, anyway.

>>28908223
and a non convertible miata would weigh significantly less

No, that's only for manufacturers that stuff a ton of extra stiffening bullshit to make up for the lack of a roof. Mazda just hands you the limp noodle chassis you asked for.

Incorrect. There was a coupe version of the NB sold in Japan (funnily named the roadster coupe). The hardtop added 70 or so pounds to the weight. Not really a meaningful amount, but certainly not lighter.

Square cube scaling law.
Double the dimensions means 8x the volume.
What this means for weight is

Checks out.

Manufacs have always needed to significantly add structural chasis bracing to a vert. At a bare minimum it's for the torsion and flex to be similar so the fuckin car behaves like its supposed to, at the other end it's also needed for the crash ratings to be similar.

That's because the coupe was not a coupe. It was a convertible with a hardtop welded in. The chassis was the same, with all the extra strengthening bullshit the normal NB had.

Who do you think your bullshit works on?

Check out the absolute butthurt faggotry going on over at /k/

A good sunroof does everything that you want out of a convertible, without forcing the whole car to be hot garbage

Who the fuck likes convertibles anyway.
It’s always some wannabe glamorous 45yo woman driving these

>>28909304
As a convertible and car-with-sunroof owner, lol, lmao even

>>28909304
Not even close mate, do you drive while looking straight up?
