There is a rumor next Z may have T-tops... wouldn't hold your breath tho'.
There's always a 'vert option. Sunroofs are nice, but they are also one more thing to leak, break, etc. I liked mine on all my old Celicas, but I honestly don't miss it on the Z. |
T tops like the 280zx would be awesome.

Just get a sawzall and have at it. Get a piece of plexiglass and duct tape and you have your sunroof!!

I'm guessing they didn't wanna include the sunroof, let alone do T-tops so they can sell more convertibles.

I remembered how much i wanted a sunroof in a car. Bought a 2004 wrx some years ago. I think i opened the sunroof 10 times in 6 yrs of ownership, dont really miss it, altough i think i wouldnt mind t-tops if the Z35 had them :tup:

Mine started leaking just before i traded in my suby for the Z |
I suppose to keep up with the tradition of some of the generations, Having T tops would have been nice... as well as easier to maintained than a convertible.

A vehicle with a sunroof loses some of the characteristics of handling. Remember the Mitsubishi Evo's, there was a base model that had no power windows, no HID, no A/C and no sunroof to mention a few. The reason for the sunroof (or lack of) was to make it lighter and more rigid.
With a sunroof the chassis has a tendency to twist more than normal and the extra weight of the glass and the motors can hurt the center of gravity thus affecting handling characteristics. I have a Venza with a panoramic view glass and whenever I go over uneven surfaces or into my driveway I can hear the chassis "twitching". I have driven the same vehicle minus the panoramic view and the chassis feels "stiffer". A sunroof or T-tops creates a "weaker" chassis sort of speak. Plus adding a sunroof can add at least 35 lbs. to the vehicle. |
