To quote James May from the latest edition of Top Gear magazine,
"I love convertible cars...convertibles are uplifting. When spring finally arrives, you want to take it in as intensely as possible, and an open car generates a sort of supercharging effect in the senses. Nature releases pheromones of some sort, and they are a drug to be craved. A cabrio does this for you."
I'm a roadster guy and bought one. Find out what you want and go for it.

Both look good, I prefer the lines on the coupe though
Roadster takes off some of the aggressiveness, but that is just my opinion
If you plan to autocross, Roadster could be heavier, not sure by how much.
If you have good weather all around the year, Roadster will let you and your dog enjoy the weather all year long

Coupe hands down. I hate the convertible Z look. I don't like convertibles in general because they all look way too different what what the car should look like except the s2k.

Roadster! I went to a Z meet and everyone and their mama had a coup. 30+ Zs and I was the only ZR. True story that women buy converts more than men, but also as for women, including mine and everyone else's at the meet was loving my ZR. If that has any kind of influence for ya. but hey, maybe you play for the other team.

Roadster fan BIG time! I personally think the 350Z convertible is one of the coolest looking convertibles on the road! I have an 08, dark pearl blue and constantly get complemented on it. It's a head-turner and a blast to drive. My very first complement on the car was... "Holy Crap, that's a nice ride!!". As for the thinking the Z vert being more for chicks, I disagree. Never heard that before. To me, it's always looked like a small muscle car, not a chick car at all.

Only roadster I want/would by is an S2k (my friend has one and they're hella fun to drive) or an older NB Miata because they're cheap as **** to buy and maintain.

All convertibles look like chick cars.

Test drive both and see what you like honestly, I did and I went with a vert. The exhaust note is godlike on the Z and for a convertible it's not tiny like a miata or s2k, you still feel like you have a car in your midst.

Not kidding. Go back a page here in this thread, take a look at 350zChad's post/pic and tell me that Z looks like a chick car?? Almost looks like the Batmobile from what I see, and that certainly AIN'T no chick car... Are you possibly playing for the other team?? :/

What does sexuality have to do with this? Sounds like someone is a little insecure...
