| the convertibles are heavier because they have to be more reinforced because there is no roof.. they have to have thicker doors and windshield area... the roof also works as a strut bar/stabalizer so when you dont have a roof your car is not as stable that means the designers had to put more steel into the frame itself.
the doors are more thicker in the convertible than the coupe if im not mistaken.
please correct me if im wrong.
