I'd guess that he's looking for the resonance frequency, a measure of chassis stiffness.. I know the S2K is VERY stiff, wither it's as stiff as the C5 Vette (which, at the time of it's production was the stiffest open roof car sold in the US) I don't know.

http://thermal.sdsu.edu/profs/Murf/classes...510/c5vet3.html

according to that article, the C5 Alpha prototype was 7680 kN/mm for bending and 720 kN*m/rad for torsion..

also says "The structural layout of the C5 enables torsional rigidity in an open-roof vehicle, which is said to exceed that of all current production open-roof vehicles by a wide margin."
