My guess is YES. You will need to worry about the frame twisting on a hard launch. The convertible is very strong considering the lack of a roof. ASC put a lot of extra bracing into the frame, but it's still a convertible.

I would recommend posting on the convertible forum with the question of how do I strengthen the frame.

the frame is strong but it has LOTS of flex because there is no roof

i would be worried about frame twist.
