I think with the top missing it would weight a lot less then the Coupe (curb weight (lbs) 3,009). And having the same engine and hp it should reach 0-60 in a faster time then the Coupe, hands down. But Chrysler does not show that to be true in the performance specs.

 

Convertibles always weight more. They have to reinforce the chassis to make up for not having a rigid roof.

 

That would be correct. The convertibles always weigh more. Does anyone have actual specs on both models?

 

Per Edmunds.com the roadster's curb weight is 3,140 lbs (.038 cd) and the coupe's curb weight is 3,060 lbs (.037 cd).

An 80 pound difference and .01 coefficient of drag difference...the coupe is faster (or should be).

Like I said, in another thread... "Coupe is 'The Real Man's" car... lol

 

Chicks dig the drop top though. That's what I have the Sebring for.

 

Most chicks I know go on Red Flag Gay Alert.

 

Then you're hanging out with the wrong girls...

General rules are never ever cruise two guys in a two seater...unless it's your son.

 

Haha I think the same exact way. You have to be bald and 45 for the convertible Xfire...I may be to new on the forum to start providing my blunt opinion...just messing w/ you guys.

 

And make sure your wearing a t-shirt that says "Dad".

 

And not "big daddy" or "pimp daddy".

Guess I need to work on going bald...

 

Which came first convertibles or bald headed men? Maybe convertibles cause bald headed men. I think I'll keep my coupe and my hair!

 

Good luck with that! It may be easy to do the 1st, but not sure how easy the 2nd will be!

If you DO still have hair, there's not much better than having the wind blow through it when you're driving a XF with the top down! Must be why women like them so much.

(I'm pretty sure it was the bald headed men that came 1st, although technically, horses could be considered convertibles I guess).

 

I passed a bald guy down in San Diego driving an old Alfa convertible. The license plate surround said "The older I get, the more head I get".

ROTHLMAO!

 

Besides, the convertible looks way better than the coupe. Sorry sad but true.

 

Followed By SIKE.

 

I found this to be not true, most of the time they do not want to deal with the wind and hair issue. I know more women that would choose a coupe over a convertible. One of my friends has a Honda 2000 and his wife hates the top down.

 

Ya, convertibles were the ticket in the 50's now chicks dig dudes in lifted trucks. I get more attention in the diesel. What a world we live in.

 

I am women hear me roar! (In my diesel)
