370Z Convertible = 327 HP from 0 to 60 magazine 04.06.09

Nissan 370Z Roadster

Dropping the top and cover on their new ‘vert.

Quote:

Even though it’s only one 3/4 shot, we like it. The shape of the car still seems to be present and the ‘vert doesn’t take away from the lines of the coupe too much. Of course, we’d still rather have a coupe but a convertible is good for the ladies. Horsepower is down (which doesn’t make sense) to 327, from 332. You can opt for either the awesome six-speed with rev-matching or the seven-speed, which has hopefully worked out the few kinks it did have.

heavier and less HP

doenst make sense unless for just marketing purposes they want to stagger each model powerwise .... like vert < coupe < nismo

I want to see how well the 370Z transitions to a soft top; most cars do not look as good as their hardtop brethren.

I like the matching yellow seats!

Could depend on the source of the information. I think in Europe the coupe is rated at 327 as well. It makes no sense that that engine, intake, exhaust would be any different.

Yes, the Euro spec coupe is also rated at 327. See -> Pistonheads review of 370Z

Porsche still relies on soft top. I think they may have one hardtop vert.

semtex · 04-07-2009, 06:08 PM

Ugh...pic with the soft top up. Definitely not my ball of wax. It looks like a soft-top Miata in this shot.
