I think the chances of a convertible gt86 weighing less then coupe are very slim; most likely it will be fatter and less rigid.
There's no moonroof because adding glass to the roof would have made the handling worse and the car heavier. Having no roof and a lighter fabric top stowed in the trunk can only help the car's handling, as long as they did engineer the car to be as rigid as they say it is.
