Realistically tho, I just don't think it makes a very significance difference on a road car.

I wouldn't worry about it on a 5,000+ lb. SUV, you would never feel the difference.
I have the above mentioned GT3 and there has been allot of uproar from the purists re. the inability to delete the sunroof option however I highly doubt anyone other than a professional driver could tell the difference which certainly includes me and besides I like using it.
