Sunroof

Hi all
Just heard from a salesman that if you opt in for the sunroof, it adds 178 pounds. I went for the CR as I never use a sunroof other then to vent the cabin when parked in the sun..

I'm not sure the exact weight, but I think it's closer to 50 lbs. Someone else can probably correct me. But, I know it's small enough that you'd never notice the weight savings.

My date brought a large water bottle into the car one night. I immediately starting explaining sprung vs unsprung weight; that 8lbs per gallon adds up quickly and how the extra weight would negatively impact the our ride. She looked at me like I was crazy so I dumped both her and the water, and I swear, I felt the difference in cornering right away. YMMV

CF!!

The weight of the sunroof assembly is 35-50 pounds.
