Cab vs. Coupe - 370Z

Old Chuck · 02-08-2010, 01:30 PM

That compared it with a coupe which had 10,000 miles on it and the roadster was quicker 0-60 and around a track. If I can remember correctly, it was a very small margin but neither car was dynoed so you don't know how much each started with but both were stock. I was very surprised at the test as I thought the roadster would be slower. I have driver the Boxster and Cayman and can not tell the difference but I never got past 7/10. Would doubt that the 370Z roadster is a tight as a Boxster which was designed as a roadster and evolved into the Cayman. If the results continue to show that the 370Z roadster does not loose any or much to the coupe, I would be pleasantly surprised. I would have thought the weight penalty would have taken a toll on the times. I would imagine that some mag will do a test between the roadster and coupe before too long. I also read where the roadster had slightly different suspension to account for the increased weight.
