I like the looks of a hard top but I love Roadsters and would not want anything else. When the top is down, they are sex on wheels - top up, not so much (on that much I agree). I did not buy the car, however, to be driving it with the top up.

I think everyone has their own tastes and I would not expect everyone to have the same opinion as myself. Flame???? Meh!

I think he was referring to the very first sports cars. As in, over a hundred years ago.

While I'm not a fan of the looks of the Z roadsters, I don't think anyone can say that anyone who buys them is doing so for the wrong reasons. I mean, what the hell are the right reasons? Track duties? Autox? Or looking good while getting from point A to B?

i know wat he meant.

my post was reinforcing why roadsters that were designed to be roadsters from the start are considered more valid (for enthusiasts) than roadsters that were originally coupes but later modified into their shape... i suppose.

This is a very basic example and I hope I can explain it the way I intend. You don't buy a corolla for speed, you buy it for gas mileage. That would be the right reason. To buy the Z with the conv when it seems to be an after thought design seems to me like the wrong reason.
