V8 with 425-450hp +, manual trans, RWD, I'm happy.
T-tops and less weight don't mix well, with t-tops you have to add structural rigidity that the roof cannot do with t-tops unless a lot of extra weight is added in. And you certainly don't want any of that weight in the t-top roof structure as that would cause a higher center of gravity (and not good for handling), so the likely result would be strengthening the lower part of the car to carry that load, much like you add weight and structure for a convertible.
