I wouldn't expect car dynamic changing gains from an I/E/T. It's a high strung, high-comp, NA engine.

It will lose rigidity regardless going to the convertible top. The vast majority of cars do this, even cars designed as a droptop from the start. The 86's profile isn't so sleek to not impact it as much as other cars.
