370Z DROP TOP ROADSTER

Fri, 22 May 2009 10:33:00 -0500

For those of you who like to drive "top-less" Nissan might be the way to go. With the eminent demise of the legendary S2000 it seems that the 370Z roadster will most certainly become "King of the Mountain" for this automotive niche. For the foreseeable future that is. Price tag for the car is rumored at around $36,000. (Not too much more expensive than its predecessor...) Word also has it Nissan has opted for the cloth-top instead of the hard-top in order to lighten the load. (370Z Roadster said to be around 100 lbs. heavier than the base model non-convertible)
