And let's see, fuel weighs around 6 lbs/gallon. The added weight of the sunroof is what, maybe 44 lbs. That's about 7 gallons of fuel. Can I tell the difference between 7 gallons of fuel? Full tank to half? Not really
Keep in mind those 40+ lbs are located at the very top of the car, not low like the gas tank. On an autocross course, I can tell when I have another person in the car with me from the way the car reacts. I don't daily-drive that way, but at the limit, I can tell the difference and I'm not a top-level driver.
