I'm not saying they loaded the hardtop up with extra rigidity, I said they engineered the car with a convertible version in mind. That means I expect there to be very little needed to regain the small amount of rigidity that is lost when the roof is gone. And having no roof swinging above you when you dive into a corner, the car will handle better. If it does gain any weight, I think the weight they would save with the lighter fabric roof could cancel it out. Worst case scenario, the convertible top will add 100 lbs. to the car. In that case, a manual convertible would be barely heavier than an automatic hardtop.
