Not that "high speed"  is an option for me,  but is a roadster with a 
factory hardtop installed considered a closed car? So you'd still need a 
roll bar but just not as tall?

Don't forget, open cars require the roll bar to be 2"-3" above the drivers 
helmet.  For us tall guys that's not an option with most convertibles if we 
intend to put the top up at some point.
