Rain? You will not melt. Find an overpass. Put a big baggie over your head. You will not be caught in enough rainstorms to make it worthwhile.

Go for more motor ... you will appreciate that a lot more than a pain-in-the-a$$ top that takes 30 minutes to put on, and leaks like the Titantic.
Come on...and you have a Superformance????? In 3 years and almost 18,000 miles I've had the top up DOZENS of times. I can put it up or take it down in 5 minutes. In 30° weather with a coat on, it's cozy in my car with the top up. A sudden rainstorm won't ruin the whole day: I just put the top up and take it down when the rain is over. Sure, some rain comes in but driving around in a cozy, intimate roadster with the top up is a lot more fun (for you and whomever) than driving around with wet pants and a freakin' baggie over your head.

Oh yeah...I'm 6'6" tall and 220# and I can get in and out just fine...

Get the top!
