That is correct, this weight is not present in the coupe. It is a semi-mobile structure. It really pertains to ride/handling characteristics of the roadster due to its different body structure and weight distribution.

I've had mine out for almost a year, I thought it was a counter balance for the power top motor. With the weight of the intercooler I notice no difference.

that's photochopped, no way would 26" rims fit or work and they would be cambered out like crazy too. Plus it's damn ugly.

You obviously didn't see the thread this past summer with d21arren from the rollin' solderz club and his 20 inch 50lb chrome spinners. And this was (apparently) no joke.

yeah we found the same thing with our Darknights 350Z roadster that was on the cover of PAS magazine. When we installed the Vortech S/C with the intercooler, we had to remove that weight from the front end also...The car handled a bit different at first, but after we installed the Tein Flex kit, that all changed.....Much better know.......
