40th or convertible
 
So its winter here in Boston and my Z is in storage for at least another two months, BUT for some reason this random idea just came into my head. Would a brand new 370z convertible be better ( in my circumstances since i drive the Z only 6 months a year) over my 2010 40th model? I feel like convertibles are definitely more fun however the coupes tend to look better than the convertible tops. Am i going crazy or should i look into this??? I wouldnt mind driving a brand new 2011 convertible this summer up here in New England however I love my 40th, errghhh i hate winter!

Well, imo the coupe looks better, and I'm sure there's a slight performance advantage to owning the coupe. Um, the 40th is gorgeous.

That said, Roadsters are hella fun, and driving around with the top down is quite an experience.

I don't know what to tell you, though. I'd save the money and drive the 40th, but that's just my take.

OP- how about you keep the 40th. :D

I would definitely keep the 40th. Just open the windows and floor it when you want it to feel like a convertible ;)

40th I first wanted the convertible but then I saw the butt and was completely turned off + cloth roof = bleh.

when you take the z out of storage, you'll drive it and you'll be happy.... all impulsive decisions to trade it for a different type of Z will vanish instantly.

Get a 1990 Miata

I'm pretty sure you can drive your Z for about 8 months in the year....
(I store mine from Dec. to Mar., so I can drive from Apr. to Nov.)

Roadsters are fun, but if you want to take any longer trips, you'll love your coupe...

/Disclaimer, both cars are great! No vs. thread.... :)

Keep the 40th, the roadster is cool but your 40th is better :tup:

Vert is ugly as sin. Stick with the sexy coupe.

Cunnos 02-08-2011 08:25 AM

Yea my winter blues have cooled off today, i think ill just stick with the 40th or maybe just buy a convertible Prius......im going to storage today to speak with the 40th and apologize for my behavior...

Since you already have the car just keep the 40th. The idea of a roadster is very fun, though.

Sibze 02-08-2011 08:29 AM

I would keep the 40th as well...

Zaggeron 02-08-2011 08:31 AM

Whoa ... lotsa hate for the 'vert :(.

If you had neither, I'd say seriously consider the roadster. But it's not worth the hit of your trade-in to trade your 40th for one. The 40th is the second best looking Z after the roadster so console yourself with that fact :)
