You would need alot more then a butter knife to cut the top off a coupe lol.

My father had a Fiat 124 when he was younger and hated it because his top got cut twice.

Also one of my good friends got rid of his S2K and bought an Evo after his top got cut 3 times in his driveway in order to steal his seats. By the third time he was wishing the insurance company would total the car.

Not going to lie, if the 350 had a t-top or targa top I would have gotten one.

This thread has started a war between coupe and convertibles. OP did you make a decision?

Sorry you couldn't afford the cooler, better looking Roadster, SQuaLZ. Maybe we can start a collection here for your trade in? When is your birthday?

Your day must suck worse then mine, and I work 10 hour days then study for the CPA exam for 3 hours at home.

If I wanted a roadster I would have gotten a S2K. At least it looks good with both the top up AND top down.

And it totally makes sense that the best 350Z available came only in coupe form (Nismo).

That right there goes to show you which version is better.

A man drives a coupe, verts are for ricers,gays, and women.

My opinion of course, but every-time I see a vert Z on the road its one of the 3 above. As far as this site however there are some nice vert's here. I still wouldn't own one though.

Are you implying that gays and ricers are not men?

There are alot of verts on this site so maybe the gay ones and ricers can chime in. I never really thought about observing what type of people drive the car I'm going to purchase. I do know that girls like convertibles but I saw that as plus. Why would I buy a car because other guy's like it.
It's like asking another guy for advice on picking out cologne. What's ironic is most women think gay guy's have better taste than straight guys.

The top down is more fun than being couped up.

As I said before, I do not purchase a car because of what other people think of it. I also do not purchase a car with concerns about whether women, gay people or ricers drive it. The mazda NA miata is looked at as a women or gay person car, but it is one of the best cars ever made...for the price.

My vehicle purchases have been all over the spectrum of vehicle types. IMO The 350Z coupe has better lines and is a lighter car, but you can't drop the top.

I always heard from other people that a lot of homosexuals like convertibles. I don't know if this is true or not but I don't see how someone's car reflects their sexual orientation. I do however think a guy that drives a Volkswagen beetle or a V6 mustang convertible is a bit on the weird side as in my state I have seen numerous gays driving in those cars.

Phenom, to make my point clear. I am aware that girls like convertibles. I am also aware that some people feel that gay people like convertibles. That has no influence on the car that I choose to purchase.

My daily Driver is a SUV to transport my kids.
My work/mod vehicles are a 86' Squarebody and the 350zr to drive like I'm insane.

The funny thing about the whole gay comment is--how do you know if the driver of a car is gay if they can't drop the top? Do they "look" gay? Did you ask them if they are gay? Are you homophobic? Do you think that if you are driving a convertible people will think you are gay/ricer?

V8 = Mustang
V6 = Donkey



As for the beetle, I'd love to have an older one. They are *** ugly, but they turn heads and full independent suspension is fun to chuck around corners.

My guess is just homophobia. I don't like the roadster and it has nothing to do with sexual orientation. I think it looks like chick car, and when I think of a cliche douchebag, I think red convertible "sport" cars.
