Possibly getting a Roadster
well they are only offering me 14.5 for my trade i donno if thats decent or what but my dad keeps telling me i would get more if i sell it out right...i know i would get more if i sold it out right but the fact is i need new tires/breaks and i would get charged for paying off my loan early

Thanks and hopefully ill have a Roadster before winter!
Spring and Fall it is!!!
And I never thought my Roadster was ugly with the top up. I have a PPW with Dark Blue top and I think it looks better than coupes. Coupe looks like a frog to me.

But def. coupe would handle better than ZR because of the hard top. That big *** built in rear strut bar looks like a no joke as well.

I swapped my cats for TPs, No spare or tools, JWT flywheel (14 lbs instead of the stock 23).
A 2005 Z Roadster supposedly has a curb weight of Curb 3,462 lbs. I would guess that mine (with a 1/4 of gas) is currently hovering below 3400 lbs.
Next time I take it to a track I'm going to get it weighed.

We are talking about @stock here. And if you think about it for sec here...
You or whoever could buy a coupe and do the exact same mod, right?
@stock or @same mod, coupe will always lighter than a roadster.
You can't really compare a stock car with a mod car. See my point?
Unless you modify your ZR to open up manually and take out that heavy convertible motor out of the car.
^On top of what I said...

ok so i had my friend (who works at another dealer) run a carfax on the blue ZR and from what he saw it looks like it was a possiblitiy that the car was at the auction a couple of times. Not sure if i can tie that to a bad thing but what do you guys think went from New Jersy to WV to Ohio
