Personally if I was going to throw money at a convertable, I would sooner buy Mazdaspeed MX-5 (miata), Honda S2000, or if the savings account was full enough maybe even Porche Boxster or BMW Z4. They are all, in my opinion, much better looking and I'll be they're all a blast to drive in their own ways.

My main gripe with the ZR is that it looks almost the same moving forward as it does in reverse! I like my symmetry side to side, not front to back.

I don't mean to bash anyone who owns a ZR, but I would personally spend my $30k elsewhere.
When I first saw the 350z Roadster I thought it had killer looks... Plus its the only roadster that my 6'4 frame actually fits in.. I did look at the other cars..

BMW Z4, to small and looks like an old person Roadster

Mazda Miata, to small again and looks like a girls roadster

S2000, actually like this one but again to small, couldnt even get my foot over the clutch area.

Porsche Boxster, also like this one but its to small and the first generation was week on HP (which was the only one they had out when I bought my 350z Roadster)

Vette Convertiable, I've never been a fan of the vette wedge shape look... Although the HP is nice

As far as Roadsters goes, the 350zr has a sporty look (top down, which is the case with all Roadsters)... Has the most room of all the Roadsters out there and has decent performance #'s, only tick slower then the coupe.... And at $38k fully loaded its easy on the pocket book (for me anyways), plus the resale value on the Roadster is a lot better then the coupe.

If I had not seen the 350z Roadster I would of bought a sports coupe... but I doubt it would of been the 350z coupe. I would of rather saved up and got a 911, M3 or a slightly used NSX...

Only problem with the 350z coupe is to many punk kids/ there parents can afford them because of the coupes bad resale value.

To me, the Lamborghini Murcielago "roadster", is really a Lamborghini Murcielago "targa". The cover is a piece of roof frabic that you put on manually. Hence why I think it looks awsome, because it still has the back end lines of the Murcielago. and all you are doing is taking the roof off.

A lot of people would love to have a targa 350Z because it let's you have the sun as well as keep the sexy back rooflines.

ANyhoo, just my two cents.




THRUE!!!!!!! When I decided to trade my M3 for the ZR I really wanted a targa Z, but as we all know Nissan for some GIRLY reason decided to make the ZR and not a ZT so I settle for the ZR.

I'm in your backyard. By the way Ted is the one that had my rear lip painted. Just ask him I think he'll remember. So did he finish your car yet?

Ted send out all paint job to a bodyshop near by. Why pay more for paint job when you can go directly the shop by yourself?

I'm NOT gonna lie...I DO have an '05 Coupe, purchased new for $25K, but if I had the extra "capital" at the time, I'd be rocking the ZR, fa sho!

My plan IS to trade up to a ZR, when my lease is up! ALL those comments on ZR being girly is PURE BULLSHYT!

I had a 04 PPW Roadster, and yes it did look like a chicks ride, and one person said my Z looks like a shoe when it had the top down. Oh well...
