Anyway, chop off the roof, and all those percentages you just quoted fly out the (figurative) window. A unbody coupe with no roof is lacking a critical part of the body's structure and will crumple much easier then a stock body of the exact same year and model. That's what we get for driving unibody cars.
my point was that the 4th gen lude has a solid chassis, i never said those numbers carried over to a convertible
well i thought that was pretty obvious, you know...
the roof...my analogy to 4th grade math class and basic shapes
ya any car without a roof, is going to be subject to much more twisting corner to corner, and of course lets not forget that if that car rolls over, every one inside is going to get mashed in half since without door posts and obviously the roof, there is NO support above the occupants
