I was never impressed by the new coupe as I did with the 90' ZX TT. I test drove s2k, Z4, Boxster and CLK b4 I made up my mind on the ZR. ZR looks more manly than those 4 sissy rides IMHO. The only coupe I want to own is the new Zo6.
Don't get me wrong here, I love the Z's styling both in coupe and topless form. But I just prefer driving my own roller coaster down the hwy at 155mph if allowed.

I traded my 03 DB coupe for an 04 SB roadster. I have no regrets because I love having the top down and just crusin. At first when they came out I didn't even like them. Ever sinece I got my R1 and love to ride, I decided to trade the coupe for the roadster its one of the best decisions I've made.

I like the roadster. However, if there were a sunroof or targa option for the coupe, I would get the coupe.
Also, the price either confuses or clarifies which one to get, if it is a factor for you. If you can afford the roadster=confusion. If you can only afford the coupe=clarification.
I also want to use the car for solo/auto-x and hpde. I guess I should get the coupe then, for safety and performance reasons.
See, I'm confused too. I wish I could afford BOTH!!

I am continually amazed at the head turning factor of my roadster. More than BMW's, Porsches, Vettes. Even more, I think, than some Ferraris and alike. Everywhere I go, I get the thumbs-up, and all sorts of positive comments yelled out to me from everybody. Why the response to the ZR?
1. To the general public, it looks like an exotic
2. People have a fascination with convertibles in general, whether they want one or not. Covertibles represent a sort of care-free freedom that coupes just don't.
3. The ZR is a real car in that is is within the realm of most people's reality. People look at a Ferrari and may gawk, but it is so far out of their reality, that there is no real envy. People look at a ZR owner and still relate to them as a "real person".
Anyone who calls this ugly seriously needs their head examined......
