arent the zr's heavier than the z's? .... i thought in general convertables were heavier than hard tops because of all the extra bracing and mechanical crap.

Im sure that is all gutted on this zr though, so it would make sense that its lighter.

the skinny on chris for 2006 is he'll be sponsored by Nissan Corp, tires still sponsored by falken tire corp, on a 350Z convertible. nissan gave him 2-3 nissan convertibles, with 10 VQ motors and a few V8's. its going to be one crazy 06!!

The rollcage makes up alot of structural rigidity...so the roadsters braces are probably gone, ragtop and motors deleted, as well as the original roll bars and mounts.

It basically IS a coupe...simply without it's roof.
