Mental note: avoid driving around Z's in San Diego...prone to flipping. Weird. :driving:

Unsure if you are planning to store it though winter months then its a ~8 months nice car to drive and ~4 months nice car to look at parked. If you can live with that roadster all the way.

If I was going to track the car or wanted it 12 months out of the year it would be a coupe and a nismo.

I wouldn't go back to a 350z roadster just for the sake of a roadster, you can get a good priced coupe and mod the hell out of it over time.

:iagree:

Now THAT'S an idea except that means that I would have 2 cars I couldn't drive in the snow! BTW....Ziggy, how did you know about E. Windsor?

You live in Connecticut. I USED to live in Connecticut.

Come on, you know you are going to get dumped on with at least 12" of snow at least one more time!!!!! :roflpuke2:

Lol......don't burst my bubble! You know how it is here! This time of year we are so sick of snow, we tend to get delusional and think it's going to be 80 degress any day now. I have ex-relatives that now live in AL originally from CT and Maine. They finally got out of Dodge for the warmer weather. Just have to watch out for the tornados in AL. I'm thinking more like Arizona. :tup:

Hey Ziggy, I checked out that Miata. 91K miles. I wonder why they don't have a pic of it....hmmmm! They're asking a few hundred more than KBB even in excellent condition. Nice idea though! I wonder how it is in snow. I could use that for my DD :bowrofl:

350z vert, performance wise, was a POS... The 370z vert is leagues better. That said, I think Z verts in general, look awkward.

Roadster...
 
After riding motorcycles for 15 years, had to have a roadster...I'm used to parking my toy for 5 months per year...

I see people driving these with winter tires all the time on 128. I have not driven one in the snow but a couple of sand tubes in the trunk and off you go! :driving:

all i say is HUGE antenna right in the middle of the back :shakes head:

love my vert, drop the top twice a day, Dropped on coilovers and its a daily driver, MUST have the SmartTop Chip. 370z roadster definately looks a LOT better lowered.

I hear ya! You would think that some genius would come with a better solution than that for radio reception.

Convertible for me. I don't think i've ever driven my car with the top up. The top is always down when it's not in storage. I'd store a coupe for winter too so for me that doesn't factor in the decision.

Personally I think the 370Z convertible looks very good with the top down, when it's time to put it up.... :wtf2:
