Convertibles tend to carry a lot of internal bracing to stop the remaining bodywork flapping around... so it's probably heavier than the normal
saloon.

The roof structure adds a lot of strength and stiffness to the chassis. Removing it means having to add a lot of strengthening to the floor area.

It's quite possible to get that sort of power from a CVH but it would either be quite an expensive exercise or have the reliability of a grenade
with a loose pin. Or more likely he's spouted the first number in his head...

Correct! Ask to see his Dyno plot, that usually shuts them up. My son used to keep his in the glove box of his 285bhp MR2 Turbo.
That also shuts them up

That motorbase info on the rs turbo cabriolet is rubbish, there were no ford factory RS turbo cabrios, in this country or anywhere else!
