totally throwing random numbers out but maybe .3 with 150 lbs and .5 with another passenger? .8 seconds total? more?

That additional weight could easily be a couple seconds right there. Also because it's a roadster you're missing a little bit of chassis rigidity that the hard top versions have and will probably experience some flexing of the chassis on the tighter/harder corners which i could see translating into some funky behavior when the car is transferring weight laterally.
I've never driven with a passenger during a hot lap so it's hard for me to say how bad it might affect my time.
