short answer yes that can even happen with a hardtop if you are putting serious mods into the engine without reinforcing it but rags and t-top are more likely to twist but like i said only if you really suit up ur drivetrain

Re: random question

Any 3rd gen car should have WELDED on SFC's to add reinforcenment to the un-body. Did SFC.s 10 yrs ago and never looked back, the best improvement I made to the car.
