Why doesn't the 370Z have roof options?

One off that I have only seen like 4 pictures of... And I don't know anyone who has seen it in person, or if it still exists or what is going on with the car... I wonder how much those guys WOULD charge to do this to another 370...



Edit: Now that I think of it, I lied, I THINK he was a forum member TopGone

More info:
Nissan 370Z Targa top?

COSTS $9800

Doesn't look very safe. Looks like the windshield and a-pillars would just fold under an above average impact with no reinforcements.

I wouldn't think so, and evidently the chassis is was sturdy enough without it (they said they used one jack and the doors opened and closed no problem)

People put a lot more faith in our rooves (I think that's the first time I've ever typed that ) than I think they deserve... The roof is made out of a very thin steel, and the A pillars and door frame are steel but they it's not like they're are I-beams, lol

If it were cheaper, I'd probably chop JUST the roof out and leave the door frames in place... But I bet the roof that's chopped out will have to be reinforced because it's pretty flimsy...
I'd actually consider the full targa top if it could be done for a reasonable price, not $10k

T-roof all the way..!!

t-roof would be nice on the 370z

I love the sun roof on my G37, I have often wondered why you couldn't have some sort of option for the Z other than a vert. T-Tops or Targa for the win!

I've never had a car with a sunroof, to me this is a non-issue

MarkGideon

I have had many cars with a sunroof, and my DD has one (Altima). For me, the Z is just fine without it. However, that targa does look sweet.

I like the idea of the sunroof and even the T top option, love the fact that I can have mine of and my passenger doesn't have to. Miss it in my 96 300ZX and when I use to roll my moms 83 280ZX Turbo, if either were an option on the 370 I would have gotten it.

Correct....this car was TopGone's 370Z. Good guy based out of either North or South Carolina. I cannot recall honestly. A local shop down the road from us built the Targe Top. The car still exists I am sure, but I never heard a final verdict on the weatherproof-ness of it.

No room on the roof for a panel to slide back. Look at the roof of a G37 with a moonroof and try and figure out where that would go with the dimensions of a 370Z roof. Regarding a Targa Top or T Top panels they are a pain in the a** to store in the car. You think there isn't much room in the hatch now ? Try and fit a glass panel or two in their storage bags and tie down straps back there. I had an RX7 with removable steel roof panel and another smoked glass panel and it was nice to pop it off once in a while but a motorized, retractable top if the only way to go.
