Especially now that they are interlocked so that it can not be opened doing 60 MPH. The top on my 64 Impala opened in about .06 seconds once.

Yeah, I've seen the new Miata RF roof in action, and it's impressive. They did an outstanding job designing that. It was a contender for me when purchasing my new 86. If it was a new 86 feature in a future generation, they would have to forgo the back seat and add a few grand, but it would be worth it. The significant extra weight would probably need a power boost to compensate for it, though, so the current engine just wouldn't work.

That is exactly what it looked like after it went down in .06 seconds.

I was under the assumption that coupes were more desirable than convertibles.
