If you didn't want attention they why didn't you buy a Toyota Camry or Honda Accord? I bet you bought the Z so people could see you get in and out of the car

i got a Z cuz its a cheap sports car, i dont have a family and a bunch of little annoying crackhead kids. if i wanted a sedan like a camry or accord i woulda got an STI. cars are meant to be driven, not to haul lifes mistakes. and i hope nobody sees me getting in or out cuz i usually hit my head getting in and trip and fall getting out....
I got the roadster and yes it's a little slower so mod it and in my opinion the roadster looks whey better. Put a zr next to a z at a car show and most will gravitate to the ZR.

On top of the degraded performance such as the weight and lesser structural rigidity compared to the coupe, the roadster is just plain flat-out at ugly.
As far as the Z's profile is concerned, it is the beautiful roof that makes the car. Take that away and the Z looks like a cake on wheels. Put the top up and it looks like it has a huge black Pringle potato chip on it or some huge accordian.
Coupes > 'Verts.
Always.

I agree. Lots of girls come up and talk about the car

He's just angry cause his mom didn't get him a roadster.

Dang you must be all legs.... I'm 6'4 and I fit fine in the roadster, even for 2 hour drives... Although I will admit that if I was a inch taller I would be in trouble...

I must say that they are slow as well(Keep in mind I still love my Z). I came from much faster vehicles, but still love my ZR better than any of them.
I'm 6'4", and I wish the seat would recline 1-2" more. I found the Coupe a little more comfy than the Roadster, but with the top down I feel like I have a LOT more space.

the roadster is a awesome sports car...cruising top down is a exilirating experience that will not get old..... it handles great and it has more than enough speed to get you through traffic on a nice sunny day...people who talk down on the ZR are people that are immature and dont know how to appreciate Z's in general.....its all a matter of preference and what are your goals of having the car....i mean the couple is cool but i see too many of them and its too common..as for the ZR i dont see as many and the ZR top down wins hands down in the looks department and is way more sexy...
