if porsche decides to make a light weight version of the new car i'm sure it will surpass the 987 spyder easily (hopefully with a better roof)

Sure it will, I don't know about easily but time marches forward. They will keep tweaking the HP and weight to make sure every new buyer has performance bragging rights and to keep their competition at bay.

However, for now speaking for myself I'm even more convinced I made the right choice. As for the roof, it's just fine maybe a touch more noisy but it is purposeful. Either you embrace the spirit of the car or not, it's not for everyone to say the least. I've had it on three times all summer so I'll take the weight savings and total lack of all that mechanized linkage that causes fits as the cars age; I also think it will last longer (always out of the sun) and will be so easy to duplicate any boat canvass maker worth their salt could make you a better than OEM version.
