Do you think they will ever make a hardtop convertible Z, cause i like the convertible while top is down but up it just doesnt appeall to me?

Lets hope not, that weight and a performance car do not mix.

 

SL65.....weight dont matter if you can produce the power...but the Z is slow get another car if you want real performance

 

lol dumbest thing I'v heard in a while. Yea...weight matters no matter how much power your pushing. As far as the Z not being real performance? The Z is a building block for an excellent performance machine, some buy a car thats fast stock, some have a passion for building the car they want from a capable platform....but now we're getting off topic.

 

That was the thing keeping me from getting the vert. I also think the current convertible doesn't look as good as it could with the top up, but those few months you can drive around with the top down, it's damn sexy. I still look at the SC430s, but they aren't the car sportiness wise the Z is.

 

no

 

Are you Neo from the Matrix?

 

The top on a roadster is used as an umbrella only.

Top on the coupe is very confining.

Top-down driving is MUCH more fun. ;-)

 

I like the car with the top up but its my slice of heaven with the top down.

 

yeah you're right, Nissan matched Chevy's Camaro that's a 5.7 V8's HP in a 3.5 V6 plus faster Ets and a pretty darn good handling car from the factory

how bout one like the s2k's mugen cf top. now that thing is sexy!

 

no offense to any ZR owners, but the convertible top really ruins the curve of the z but gotta be honest, with the top down, that thang is f-ing sexy. I would get a hardtop convertible z if there is....

 

Perception is all in the eye of the beholder, but I don't qet this "ruin the curve of the Z" thing. I think my car looks great top up or top down. It looks like a roadster, which is what it is. Anyway, only time the top is up is when it's in my garage or on the rare occasion when it's either raining or just too unbearably hot to have the top down. That's less than 10% of the time, for sure.

So if you're judging looks, then judge by the looks of it when the top is down, since I'm guessing for most of us that's how we drive them most of the time.

That said, buy what you like. Driving a top-open car is a very different feeling from driving a coupe. You either like that or you don't. There's no better or worse to it; totally personal preference.

Stupidest thing in the world is to make a buying decision based on what you *think* other people will think about the looks of your car. Your car, your money, your choice. Pretty simple.
