[QUOTE=Mindz;...can someone explain to me why a vert has a lower top speed with the top down?[/QUOTE]

Meaning why does the vert have a slower top speed if the top is down, vs. top being up.

Anyways, please close the thread Tag or Moose.

cus of all the mechanics to actuate the top and the extra body stiffening req due to a lack of any crossmembers up top.
