That would require -actual- trunk space.

I mean, there are a lot of people who don't even have a sunroof on their Coupes for even better performance.

30 years ago, I owned a small sport coupe. No A/C, so I had an aftermarket sunroof put in. While it was nice to be able to just pop glass into a raised position at the back and then drop it back down to seal it, the really nice part was when I took it completely out.
The car was a hatchback and had straps in the back that were intended to secure cargo. They were perfectly positioned so that I could lay the roof in upside down, slip the strap through the handle attached the to glass, snap the clip pieces of the straps together, and that roof would not move while the car was in motion no matter how hard I drove it.
