can't even imagine the weight this would add to the car. Its cool though, I don't doubt we will see this as an option from some luxury cars in the next 5 years or so.

I do wonder about safety though. Like how does the door open in the event if the motor failed...

or worse - what happens if you flip your car and you are on the roof - then how do you open it?

I never really thought vert doors look all that bad...theres just so many haters out there. The fact that the 370 has that kinda upwards flow to its curves it could work.

For the record, I would not waste the money on it.

No Thanks. I doesn't look to bad, but I just don't think it ads any value to the car, performance or otherwise.

You ever seen that cute girl who is...insecure? She gets plastic surgery because some part of her God-given natural looks doesn't make her feel comfortable. I mean she can get a date no prob, guys are always throwing themselves on her, trying to get in her pants.

The 370Z is that cute girl. No, it may not be a $300,000 Lambo with doors that open vertically; no, it doesn't have 600HP stock and can't reach 200MPH on the autobahn.

But I'm happy with my car just the way it is. Just my $0.02--no flaming here.

I like the vertical doors but as many others have said "they aren't for me."

1. Usually attributed to some form of pysical or psychological abuse... What do you plan to do with your Z? Drive it 65 on the highways and 45 on the backroads all the time? HELL NO! You plan to put the car through it's paces right??? Abuse it, thats what it (she) wants!

2. Think about it, what are you gonna do with the Z? Your gonna open her up, slip inside the tight leather form fitting seats that show every curve. Push the right button to set the mood, and rev rev rev her up till she can't take it anymore, and just when she's at the breaking point, you let her come down to idle and catch her breath. The thing you don't see is she loves every minute of it. And wants more!

3. I'm certain this car has plenty of potential to reach 200mph on the highway. Only thing blocking that is her chastity belt. (Governor) She wants to feel the power, but she's not legal at that point... Can you handle that?

4. I completely agree with you, just thought I'd emphasize a few points to help promote your point. + Rep for you.

I talked to a few people that have actually had lambo doors, and although I'm sure this will just be some stupid internet rumour, they said that when you use your lambo doors, you need to make sure to be very careful when you close them, otherwise the door actually starts the sag, and the gap between the base of the door and the car door jamb get smaller and smaller, until it starts hitting.

I think they're cool. Then again I don't live in an area where people have them on civics and accords. Couldn't justify the expense though.
