Roof and seats will absolutely net you far more than half a second. Don't know if you've tracked a car with normal seats and with bucket seats but there is a huge difference in car control. Seats without thigh and side bolstering move you around, no matter how tight you pull on that seat belt to keep you in place. You're constantly using your left leg to hold you in place in corners. With a proper bucket, you're in the thing and able to push the car.
The roof is worth time too, though nowhere near the seats. It's something you'll never feel on the street but will see the benefit on the track, less weight on top of the car, especially going through a corner can only benefit your lap time.
With the right options and fresh track tires, like literally all of the other cars in the test, you're looking at a significant difference in lap time, we're talking a 2:50/51.
