No, but I haven't tried it open.

Me too, but I'd say the 140-160 range it's time to close it in my opinion.

The guy who does all my body work said the Camaros are built like tanks. The 4100 lb gross weight bares this out

Is there anything structural there that the sunroof removes other than some thin sheet metal and some headliner? The mohawk may add some minor rigidity to the sheet metal, but other than that i don't think there's any less support with a sunroof.

This is what I'm thinking. It's only thin sheet metal missing. Mine has been fine, as have my previous BMW M3s.
