Me too. Too bad they don't look better in the convertible form.

That's funny (for today) as it is in the mid 70's up here north of Seattle.

Looks like a bathtub on wheels with the top down. You can barly see the persons head poking out.

That car has a gigantic, really enormous ass.

styling? appeals to some people. i find neither the coupe nor the convertible enthralling but the coupe is certainly better looking than the 'vert.

curb weight? oink oink oink.

piggly wiggly wiggly wiggly with an exhaust note that is a cariacature of the m3's exhaust note.

look, the m3 exhaust note is.......something. the Z cars take that, without even the good aspects, and turns the volume to 11.

I'm not a big fan of most 'verts based on coupes (not designed as roadsters to start). The 350Z is particularly bad.

true.

wasn't overly fond of the 993 cabrio lines, either.

same issues, though. heavier than the coupes. overall, purty slow.

my neighbor has a hopped up 350Z that he supercharged (sans intercooler --genius already blew an engine) and even with an aftermarket exhaust, it still sounds like me pursing my lips and spitting noise out of one end of a maxwell house coffee can.

can't they do something about that exhaust note?
