that huge rear strut in the back......

is it needed? has any1 replaced it with a better strut ? or just keep it thier?

... looks like it takes up alot of space

 

Just keep it there.

 

YOU CANT REMOVE IT.

 

if you watch the best motoring movie with the Z on the cover they take off the plastic cover and show you whats under it... its part of the unibody! its a cool video maybe you should go pick it up

 

or Overlay it.

I took a hacksaw to my rear strut frame, which improved ride quality drastically. It seemed to reduce my effective spring rate, so don't get the bounce anymore. My roof buckles a bit on bumps, but that's all, nothing I can't live with...

 

 

Ditto. Removing the rear strut was the cure to my B-pillar "dimples." It's not even noticable now.

any pictures of the rear strut removed

 

aerodynamic benefits improve due to better flow thru ventilation. Air enters the cabin easier lowering drag. Heating/AC operate more efficiently without that huge obstruction. And with the B pillars flattenning out there must be a perceivable windnoise reduction, and of course from that it is expected higher top ends will be the result

 

wow i thought i was the only one!

 

HAHA!

I love you guys!

Any pictures of this painted?

 

should we tell him?

 

I was about to flip out when I though you guys really did that. Quick sidenote question, do the Roadsters have that? I know you cant see it, but is it there hiding somewhere?

Oh snap, I thought you were serious......ooooops

 

I mean, not just he "Z" piece, but the whole thing. Painted instead of carbon fiber like the one attached above.
