But engineering and designing are two different things. The 370z was not DESIGNED to be a vert, it was ENGINEERED after the design was finished. They then took the necessary steps to wrap another surface around the engineering features. This is probably why there's a year delay between the coupe and vert.
I understood your post, I was just pointing out that you were not correct. The 370 Roadster is not a coupe that was re-engineered, it was built from the start as a roadster. Your description does apply to the 350 Roadster though.

Be that as it may, it certainly wasn't designed as a roadster first. The hardtop was clearly the design priority. My original comment wasn't focussed primarily on the engineering endeavors behind the roadster. Even if they did engineer it from the ground up the lines of the design are still compromised.
