:barf:

Hopefully not like that...

I would be interested in a hard top just for the tracking of the car purposes, and maybe winter too...

Its a soft top.

What would the purpose be for that top? Are you looking get rid of the motor for a weight savings?

I would love to find a hardtop option of some type.

I am surprised that a company hasn't designed a one piece removable hardtop. I think there is one for every other soft top roadster on the market. And it would probably look pretty good. Some kind of fiberglass painted to match body color.

Something similar to a Mugen hard top that are available for S2000s would look very good. I would only do it personally if I was planning on removing the entire soft top assembly as it would be too much to leave all that weight and then add a hardtop.

If you were serious enough about track performance to remove the convertible top and all of its motors, etc... and then go and purchase and install a hardtop, you're going about it all wrong.
Just start with a coupe. It's going to be stiffer, lighter and stronger right out of the box.

:iagree: A hard top option would be nice on this car. Kinda like the one they have on the Cadillac XLR. It would just have to sacrifice some performace due to the weight, it would look great though.

Nope.. Just wondering what this particular 'design' would look on the 370Z.
