The only strong functional aspect for the coupe is if you plan to track the car. Roadsters can get denied from many events unless you have a formal cage installed.

Tracking out of the question, I'd vote for the roadster these days. The gorgeous summer days have had me wishing I could retract the top and hear the sweet sound of the exhaust. I'd suggest installing an aftermarket exhaust so you can really hear the Z let loose with the top down.
Yea im not tracking the 40th but July through October would be great time to have the top down on a back country mountain road. Looking a little bit closer, the coupe is so much more of an aggressive look than the roadster. I'm not to sure about cloth top either, i feel like it makes the Z look cheap or something. Still though, i dont want to sound like a complainer, its a beautiful car

Yeah, I think looks wise the Coupe is just stunning. The roof line really makes the car. You lose that with the roadster.

But the fun-to-drive factor is huge with the ZR.
