Coupe is better more ridged and faster over all you can't cut the root off a car and say its the same a car is held together by 2 thing the roof and the floor cut one out and it's structurally unsound. Research it convertibles are for show nothing else

It wouldnt say it was exactly "debunked." It was shown that the very has additional bracing through the seats. I'm not agreeing with his guy in the sense that the vert is purely for show or that it isn't structurally sound but I don't see how the extra brace can compensate for the lack of a roof. Structurally unsound? No. But I'm willing to bet there is a measurable difference in torsion rates between the two.

I agree there....I'm sure there is some difference...I meant the "structurally unsound"...if that were the case...they wouldn't build verts for safety reasons...

Agreed. I hear structurally unsound and I think critical problems affecting normal operation. If this were the case you'd find a whole bunch of roadsters in pieces all along the tight turns in the roads lol

It's also a proven fact that birds poop more on convertible cars since they know the douchey drivers are exposed.

I've been driving convertibles for years, I will always have a convertible in my garage.

I only get to drive my 350z roadster 5 months out of the year, the rest of the time it snows and the Z is in the garage. So worth it.

For some people, it's actually hard to drive anything but a convertible.

Jeremy Clarkson summed up exactly what I feel in my Z when he was doing his Gallardo Spyder review a few years back. He said, "Sure you're going to get people coming up to you and saying 'Mmm, you know that's 100 kg heavier than the coupe!' and it doesn't matter because I've got 93 million miles of headroom and I've got orange seats and listen to this! (floors it and takes off)"

Haven't owned a coupe Z, but damn the convertible Z is amazing, some will talk **** about it being for chicks, but if chick's love it, than that's a plus, and it's even funnier when you got a modified roadster beating a coupe bad in a race. Don't listen to others, if you want a Roadster but doubting it because others opinions, don't listen to them, it's your car, not theirs. If your happy that's all that matters, plus it's dope cruising wit the top down wit a bad ***** next to you 😀😀😀
