No fat chicks for you.

What is sad is that the Vert is more expensive than the NISMO.

I have always wanted to build something off the wall. A NISMO bodied vert has not been done yet. It reminds me of Chris Forsberg's old 350Z Vert Formula D car with a NISMO aero package.

If money is no object, go the route of the Roadster and make it a "NISMO" edition. Otherwise, I vote the NISMO coupe. Less headache with leaks, less maintenance, ability to do track days and ultimately cheaper in comparison.

in all seriousness i do think i will be leaning towards the roadster from here on out (unless of course a steal of a Nismo comes a long before I find the roadster I'd be looking for), the driving experience sounds to be far greater, and my issues with styling seem to be manageable (although I'm having a hard time finding pics of a roadster with nismo body kit that aren't just photoshopped).

...and also why have a mullet like mine if you can't let it flow in the wind, am i right?

speaking of mullets, why not just off the roof on your Rio and call it a day?

I recently bought a Roadster Sport - and LOVE it. I've had soft tops for years - can't imagine life without one.

The visual lines are subjective... I love the look of the roadster - both top up and down!

wow, check out that yellow car out in the distance!

Amuse rear.

Nismo with Nismo S-tune sides.

Roadster would be fun but doesn't look as good as the hardtop. I don't fit in it either so it doesn't matter to me-it's definitely smaller than the coupe.

More Amuse.

Veilside.

Nismo all the way. For some reason every time I see a vert driving, I can never take them seriously. Maybe its because I always see old people driving them?
