Not a huge deal either way. 4D is stiffer, but the cage should make them equal. Weight isn't an issue, although Cg may be further back in the 4D - haven't scaled one here yet. If there is any advantage, it goes to the 4D with a higher roofline, accelerating air faster and giving more rear downforce as it hits the trunk. 93-95!
