Money would have been better spent if it was a targa top.

I actually...don't hate it. At all.

It looks miles better than the actual Z-roadster, since it follows the lines properly.

Scott Storch pulled that on a lambo. Spent like 200K doing it too just so they could have it 6 months before the convertable from the factory came out.

Nissan put a lot of extras in the ZR body to keep from flexing and added weights front and rear for balance. The roof on the coupe is what keeps it from flexing. If all they did is cut the top off, this could be dangerous to drive.

If I had never seen an actual ZR I would think that the car is alright but compared to what we have that convertible does not look anywhere near as good as the real ZR.

I doubt they would have done a lot to the structure of the car to compensate for having no roof. I wonder if the doors even close properly.

Wow, looks 10x better than the real roasters. I Def agree. The lines still flow when the top is closed!
