My best guess would be some sort of crash sensor maybe? Anyone know what it is? I'm very interested in what it is.
It is a ballast. There is also one on the drivers side front just to the left of the bottom of the oil pan. The two weights help smooth and stabilize the ride of the roadster due to the lower overall torsional rigidity of the car. Does add about 45lbs of dead weight, however. Not sure how the car would be without them.
