i actually like the Roadster's styling more than the coupe which is why i spent the extra money to buy it...in the end it's all a matter of personal preference since both cars are of the same family and you can't go wrong with either considering all the publications say performance is almost identical...it all comes down to if you want the option of being able to put the top down and in terms of performance to price ratio, the 370Z Roadster is the best bang for the buck on the market, bar none...i love my purchase

My Roadster is a factory order and should arrive in seven weeks. I decided to trade my ’09 Z for the Roadster after seeing the car in person. Pictures don’t even justify its beauty! It’s common for some people to knock a car when they can’t afford it…seen it too many times! Money isn’t an issue and I ordered the 2010 ZR after driving it. It’s not going to be a daily driver. So when you read negative comments about the ZR, look at where it’s coming from!

Roadster: A Perspective
 
Obviously as an owner of a 2010 ZR, my opinion probably has a bias, but my thoughts are -- you are either a "vert" person or you are not. As a fellow ZR owner put it a few weeks ago -- the top is simply a parking cover.

OBTW, I think you can still be interested in street performance and have a rag top -- I plan intake & exhaust upgrades for my vert.

THAT SAID, if I can only convince my wife to trade her Altima in for a NISMO Coupe, that'd be OK too!:tiphat:

the Mazda Miata is one of the best looking verts top up or down.

I agree, the MX-5 is a great looking & a great driving vert -- as a matter of fact, I traded in an '09 MX-5 for my ZR -- it was really fun to drive, had plenty of pep, my biggest problem was fitting in the car -- I'm right at 6' tall, and I felt like the top of the windshield was too much in my sight line -- it was probably the best balanced car I've ever had -- I am however very quickly adapting to my ZR.

A true sports car has no top. The soft top is for keeping the rain out! The difference in overall weight of ZR vs. Z is ~194#. Exactly 20 horsepower (I’m an Engineer) is needed in the ZR for the additional weight to equal the acceleration of the coupe. We all know we can easily get 20 additional horsepower from all the “boy racer” postings. People who think posers are the demographic target for ragtops are either a creative writer wannabe or maybe there are a much deeper issues, maybe with looks! Send in a recent photo and maybe someone can determine if you (&/or wife) should wear a mask!

i like both the roadster and the coupe, and can appreciate why one would choose the coupe, and another the roadster. Among all of the auto manufacturers, nissan did one of the best jobs of designing both the roadster and the coupe. Obviously since i own a 370z i think it is the best one of all, or i would have bought a different car. These are both serious automobiles, and they both do what they were designed to do very well. But, these cars have different audiences. The coupe looks like it's going 100 mph just standing still, and has an attitude as if it's saying; "what are you looking at, i'll kick your a**! When the roadster arrives, you're not surprised when you see it's driver removing his driving gloves as he escorts his beautiful woman into the party at the yacht club. The roadster's attitude is; if someone needs their a** kicked, he has "people" who do that sort of thing for him. But, since it is a 370z, if push comes to shove, he can do the a** kicking himself, if he absolutely has to.



wtf?

... I think it's a compliment to roadster owners .... Unfortunately, while I have a ZR, I have no "people".

I love my convertible regardless of what anyone else thinks. Very good performance, great looks inside and out, and a pleasure to drive. For anyone who thinks a car without a top can't perform, I'll invite you to pull up to my supercharged Viper RT-10 (top or off) and see if you can keep up...hint, better have more than 600 rwhp!:tiphat:

Maybe you have to see it in person but that color does nothing for me. I can't believe they charge extra for it :). I'll stick with PG

i can't say i like it either...imo that color is more classy than sporty...it's a nice color, no doubt, but perhaps for a luxury sedan

For what it’s worth…I have a factory order…magnetic black ZR
