here are a few weight reduction and rearranging pictures.

before:


i was going to do the EXACT same thing. but maybe in 2010. I don't want to have to deal with modified emissions when I occasionally have to drive the S somewhere. That's awesome though

how many gallons does it hold?

If you want to get into the specifics of the physics, we can discuss that further. Let me give you the two equations that should make it easy though, newton's second law and the basic equation of linear motion:

F = m*a
d = a*t^2 + v*t + d0
oh god nerd alert

Maybe a typo, but that equation is wrong. It's:
d = 1/2 a*t^2 + v0*t + d0

where d = final distance, a = acceleration, v0 = initial velocity, and d0 = initial position.

So what is the weight savings just from creating a manual soft top?
