A true sports car has no top. The soft top is for keeping the rain out! The difference in overall weight of ZR vs. Z is ~194#. Exactly 20 horsepower (I’m an Engineer) is needed in the ZR for the additional weight to equal the acceleration of the coupe. We all know we can easily get 20 additional horsepower from all the “boy racer” postings. People who think posers are the demographic target for ragtops are either a creative writer wannabe or maybe there are a much deeper issues, maybe with looks! Send in a recent photo and maybe someone can determine if you (&/or wife) should wear a mask!
