It requires a motor so it adds weight to the car. Less weight, more HP...isn't that the goal?

And the amount of time to put the top down manually is faster than having to wait for the car to do it automatically.

Any other opinions?

I agree. As a side note, the weight doesn't effect the horsepower. It changes the effectiveness of the horsepower!
