Default 350z convertible...

Hey guys i will buy 350z convertible(07 or 08)...
But when i looking at the gallery parts, no body has convertible ...

Why they don't buy convertible?

Is convertible not good at when i wnat to speed or can't turn up very much?

My problem is everybody has coup...
So when i buy convertibel, i do't wnat miss something....

If you like the roadster, buy it. If you don't, don't.

The convertible is less structurally stable. It is heavier, and has a slightly different weight bias. I also think it does not look very good with the top up at all.

No need for that. I consider this a fairly mature forum where people can come together with a common interest. Go to some of the more loosely modded forums that have no set theme if you want to bash people.

That provided absolutely no support to the subject of this thread which is a violation of the user agreement.

I thought about both before I purchased the roadster. I have always been a coupe person, but something about the roadster made me want to have it. I'm happy I got the roadster... It may be slightly slower, or handle slightly worse... But the nice sunny days with the top down heavily outweigh my track days.

IMO, Roadsters suck. Whenever I see a roadster, it tends to be a woman and the roadster (if I can get close enough to it like if it is in a parking lot) tends to be a slush box automatic.

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.
