The 370z roadster wasn't built from the ground up as a "roadster" like cars such as the S2K. If you review the “roadster” versions of other sport coupes you’ll see that there is normally a fairly significant performance sacrifice made.
From the reviews I've read before I chose this roadster is the fact it was designed as a bonafide roadster with appropriate chasis reinforcement etc. when Nissan decided to put out this 370ZR.
However for those of us who bought this roadster, I dont think we really think or care about losing out on the top speed or 0 to 60 times compared to the coupe.
For me this roadster is plenty rigid and handling is as good as the coupe after having driven both.
