Vert: Extra 250 lbs of auto-top mechanicals and chassis bracing to make it handle identically to the coupe.

Did you expect it to be lighter than the coupe?

+1, convertibles are always heavier than their counterparts.

Truth is the vert should weigh what the coupe does and the coupe should weigh 200 less

That depends entirely on what you expect of the car in terms of safety, size, etc...despite all the rhetoric, the SS is right in line with other cars sporting a similar formula of V8, RWD + IRS...

And it should have 30 more hp and cost $2000 less too, right?

Convertibles always weigh more than their coupe counter part. If the coupe weighted 200 pounds less it would cost $5000 more.

Does it really matter? You don't race in the verts anyway. You drive around, look and sound nice while enjoying the fresh air.
