All else being identically equal, the slicktop non-ZCP will be faster accelerating than a ZCP with a sunroof (or a ZCP w/o a sunroof). The 359M wheels are heavier plus the sunroof weight -- simple physics on this comparison.
EDIT: Note that although it will be faster, the difference will be very small (obviously).
