If you track the car a lot I would go with a coupe. I got a roadster mainly because I got a great price on it. I only go to the track occasionally and our club allows roadsters. The soft top on mine is in great shape, the motor did go bad though (was on the way out when I got it). Now that I have it though I think I would get a roadster again given the option. I find the coupe a bit claustrophobic inside for my taste and driving around with the top down on a nice day cant be beat IMO. However like I said if I was serious into performance and tracking the car I would of gone coupe (or a different car as the coupes were probably out of my budget). Whatever performance disadvantages there are to the roadster I'm probably not a good enough driver to notice anyways.

The only real down side for me is the look of the roadster with the top up. It just doesnt compare to the coupe. Although top down I think it looks pretty sexy.
