Sunroof poll. awesome option or not?
Who want's a 35lbs sunroof! I'm going to be 
if my car comes with one.
Just want a popular vote. The evo performes and i feel since it's like a race car a sunroof is wrong. More weight and kills decrease the rigidity of the car.

Believe it or not I voted for a sunroof. I have no plans to use the car competitively, so the difference in weight and rigidity is not enough to be a concern. Ask me this question 3 years ago and my reply would have been different. I think I'm getting old or something.

I want my car to have as much performance as possible. Being an option is not that big of deal, since I can get it without a sunroof, however I am concerned that they beefed up the roof on all the cars so they can put it in as an option, which would be part of the expected extra weight.

I will probably get my evo with the sunroof. My evo isn't a race car. It has a back seat, ac, interior molding etc.... it is a road car, maybe a high performance one, but still a road car

I have to say I want a sunroof. I'll be going from a 300zx with T-tops to the evo, so I'd feel somewhat claustrophobic without some glass above me. I already feel claustrophobic in my dad's suburban because it doesn't have one. the 35 lbs isn't really gonna make that big of a difference either... its like people that shave thier rear windshield wiper ot save wieght. Its kinda pointless.

I really wouldn't mind. But then again, I don't really see a sunroof as being needed for a daily use car. An A/C, probably. I have been in cars without sunroofs for most of my life and don't mind. In all, if I do get the Evo, i'm paying for a performance road car that I would take to the tracks sometimes. I don't need the sunroof. Maybe down the line when I get some luxury car like a lexus or something, THEN I will get it with all the options and have a pimpin' car.

I'm all for the sunroof (though I actually think it technically classifies as a moonroof). If I was using this as a race car, then definitely not, but I'm willing to make some compromises seeing as this is a high-performance street car for me and I see no reason to nickel and dime the weight away for a road car. All depends on what your intended use is, really.

I think the biggest reason I would want a sunroof on my Evo would be, to see if I could go fast enough, at night, to make the stars above look like they were shooting by like in Star Trek at warp 7.
