More chassis rigidity, lower center of gravity. I love not having it in my GTUs.

 

No sunroof, Can't fit my big ol head in my car with a helmet on if I have a sunroof.

 

Car just looks way better without that rectangular cutout on top of the roof.

If you want air, go all the way and get a Miata/S2000. Sunroofs are just too half-assed for me =P

 

Personally, it's not about having lots of air freely available. A couple reasons I like having it is because I can open it and have the car flooded with more light than I had before. I love natural lighting. You can also get a bigger view outside your car, which is nice for a number of things. Haha, I could probably see close traffic lights better through the sunroof than through the windshield...

 

for those of you who are really serious about weight, i guess this could help?

Its more about the chassis strength, and clean look to me...

 

It's gonna be a DD but I can't decide if not having the weight would really help.

 

I liked the sunroof a lot when it worked. Now its just extra weight until I can get time to take it apart.

i agree f course i do live in oregon(no sun) but still idk it just doesnt appeal to me and for fresh air id rather roll down the windows im getting rid of mine

 

love my sunroof. it didn't work when i first got my car, but messing around with it a bit got it to fully open.
once open, i cleaned the rails so it would work more smoothly. works great for summertime.

 

It's not the panel that adds the weight, it's the mechanism with the rails, motor, etc.

I'm not really a convertible fan, far less secure (theft, break ins), less safe in a rollover, less ridgid and heavier chassis (I don't think there's ever been a lighter or more ridgid convertable version of a hard top car). It's also A LOT easier to get on track with a coupe, as most places require only OEM safety gear, where nearly everywhere requires that convertibles have roll bars, some require race seats and harnesses, and I know of one that has BANNED convertibles from attending. I do like being able to have the extra air from the sunroof though, I find it makes a noticable difference to the amount of air I get, and that's important when driving around in 110+ degree F days in a black on black car. Also, with the FC, the coupe has A LOT more trunk space, which I've used up completely several times now. I also prefer the look of coupes to convertibles most of the time. So for me a sunroof is a better option than a convertible, so you can't just say that if you want more air than side windows allow then get a convertible, it's not that simple.

 

sunroof, unless it's a dedicated track car. Sunroof=fun, and not much added weight.

 

sunroof with carbon fiber instead of the metal roof

 

That was the number one reason i had to get my cruise control working in my VERT!
but after 1st gear(around 40) you really can
t steer with your feet and still hold on.

lolz! Yes! feet-drivers UNITE!

 

I would trade AC for a sunroof any day

no doubt in my mind, granted I live in the northeast

 

wish i had one

 

haha heck ya thats how all the ballerz roll

 

My previous FC had no sunroof but the current one has it, and I like it much more. I'm short so headroom isn't much of an issue, and this is a DD, so the small weight penalty is forgotten.

Sunroof is great for driving on a warm summer night. Hell, I open mine just about anytime it's not raining and above 35 degrees. Set the logicon to the bi-level setting with the temperature at halfway, and the increased airflow of the sunroof pulls plenty of heat through the lower vents even with the fan turned off.

 

Solution: eat less vegetables and stuff!

Also, you could try getting a non reclinable bucket seat like a Sparco Evo, and get the mounts that put it down closer to the floor. I'm doing that when I have the $$$ for it, as well as a Nardi wheel.

 

not sunroof

buy a GTU


jejejejeje

I donīt more weight..........

my 2cent

 

Dunno, I would rather go with tinted Lexan if I was going for weight, so I could see through it, otherwise glass. The weight is not so much of an issue, I mean look at the new M3= 3700lbs.

 

I wasn't saying I thought it couldn't be done, I'm saying it really shouldn't be done... But, given an open stretch on a clear day, I might be tempted to try it myself...

Asterisk, the thing that concerns me about non-reclining seats is what if I'm not comfortable and or can't reach everything with the position it's fixed at? Basically, how do I know it will fit me right?

 

sunroofs all the way...open when you dont have A/C
