With the cars tied and caged which I recommend I have seen
no difference in stiffness or longevity. The Hardtop does look a little
more Aero.
When the car were not routinely tied and caged.......I did have
flex problems behind Door sill area of Quarters. The sheetmetal
deflected significantly in that area and truck seems seperated.
I could Jack up the car and not be able to get the door open

John we had that problem (the rears wheels trying to catch up with the fronts) With our Challenger convertible. We solved it by putting a bar inside the sill and welding it in 5 places. We were not allowed anything going forward in the roll bar and frame connectors were a no-no.. So we couldn't tie it together any other way. We also used thick wall seamless tubing to help with our weight problems.
