Carbon Fiber Roof!!

YEAH!!!! Rice ruleZ!!!

Ugh... anyway, the roof doesn't take 60% of the vehicle's torsional load... I don't buy that for a second. It does take a significant amount though and to offset that additional bracing must be added elsewhere... there's a reason the targa models weight ~150lbs more than hard top models.

The floor pan has a lot of extra material.
