Interesting read...and interesting opinions.

It's almost like a politician writing this article, covering both sides.

the convertible takes away so much of the 370z looks.

I love the shutter and the ka-chunk! The 370Z is pure sex! It is hot, loud, and rough!

I thought their little catch line of "staying the coarse" was nice, most of what was said has been said before but it is nice to see a new review regardless. I can't say I am a fan of the convertible though.

I think what they are basically saying is that it has a few things that annoy them, but overall they loved it.

Verts are awesome and with the right parts look it.

For some reason, the Verts look 10X better in person than in pics. I have no idea why.

The part about the guy asking him if he likes it made me feel all warm inside LOL. I would have to agree after hanging out with the Mid-A guys the convert looks alot better in person Steve and Kirk's verts look like pure sex. I dont think they needed to mention the new stang being "faster" cause we all know none of us would ever go from a Z to a stang, thats just barbaric.

I will say I was not a fan of the vert from the pictures I had seen, however I've seen the convertible in red and white in the wild and they don't look half bad. Still prefer the coupe, but not disastrous as I previously thought
