Is the slicktop lighter than the swb targa model does any know buy how much just wondered.:)

Not a huge amount - 30kg , providing spec is the same. Although a lot of slicktops came with other weight saving measures that would make the difference larger - manual seats, No ABS ...etc

You also have the additional stability factor to consider.

 

I only say this becuase if you are thinking about weight saving you are probably also thinking about performance aswell.

it's mainly rigidity that the slicktop will have over the t-tops

the slicktop is around 100kg lighter than a LWB targa ;)

16kg. Not as much as most would expect I imagine...but there is ofcourse the added airflow/cooling benefits to its removal.

whats that in lbs and stone

too much in my case. i think no-aircon and koyo rad makes it run a little too cold.

1kg = 2.2 Pounds

 

14 pounds in a stone.
