I have 1 with vents, and 1 without. I found a book in Barnes and Noble that
says the hardtop weighs more than the coupe-partly because of heavier
bumpers. the caption in question points to one with vent windows(in fact
its the ONLY picture with vent windows). I don't see any other difference
in the photos, and i doubt there are different bumpers on the cars. if i
can, i will weigh my bumpers just to see.
