I much prefer a closed coupe to a convertible for a sports car - I might be in the minority, but aside from the weight issue, I like a well-designed coupe's appearance, rigidity (better handling as well as its fewer rattles), safety, weather resistance, high-speed performance (less wind noise and more aerodynamic), etc.

I love convertibles (my first car was my dad's 1970 Cadillac Coupe de Ville convertible with 7.7L motor), but I think they're better on a luxury or GT car...



Sorry RC, what Grant said may not be your position, but isn't it comprehensible that a covertible has not to be necessarily the first choice for a sportscar-enthusiast?
Apart from Grants fundamental arguments: some really DON'T like everybody to look in their car. There are not only extroverted people out there

(hope I could explain my thoughts in spite of language barriers )
