i had a camaro with t-tops and i loved it here is south florida. beach trips with the tops off were awsome. The z idk about tho. one of my fav things about the z is the tear drop roof. with the top off you lose that and it looks kinda wierd. my camaro looked better with the tops off but the z is best with the roof. I might go for a sun roof tho.

Roof in non-convertible cars is a structural component of the car..if you just cut it off you car will start bendind after every little bump which is sth you definitely do not want to happen..

I believe the ZR has extra reinforcment in the chassis.. The roof and pillars add extra ridgity to the vehicle and therefor the structure is compromised if the roof is removed and I wouldn't want to be in an accident in one.
Imho, the targa top from those pics doesn't really flow well with the modern look of the 350z (kills it actually) but suits more older model cars like the 300zx etc etc.. Plus where would you put the roof? what happens if it rains?
Get a roadster, and you can open/close the roof with a push of a button.. No need to worry about the look of a ZR as they are meant to be driven with the top down and look **** hot.

This is My CAR!!!!!!!!!!
this is my car. i live in denver. the guy who took the picture is not bull shitting. i still haven't finished the project due to dnc.
i have a better picture on *********.com or 350zmotoring.com or just type targa top 350z on yahoo.com.
i m doing this with Chris n Matt at RX motorsports in denver. It handles way better because we welded 5' steel bars around the frame. i should finish this by next week. and i ll post some more pics. after mine is done, i ll give u guys discounted price if anyone wants.
