3330+200 is 3530. Its already tipping the scales. I have a base sport weighing in at 3280. The vert is 200+lbs heavier than the heaviest coupe. Its still going to affect performance by a huge margin. I would never buy a 3500lb v6 roadster for performance. That's a chiillin car. Seriously
CORRECTION
The base Z was 3232 and base vert was 3426 which is a difference of 194lbs @ base.
