Alfa,

Am I just confused or isn't a roadster technically a convertible without a top as in the early Vipers? Not that I'd ever turn down a Fairlady

small, 2-seater, convertible/topless sportscar. Generally light quick and fun to drive.

Datsun Fairlady

Mazda Miata

Shelby A/C Cobra

Triumph TR-6

etc. etc.

Dodge Viper...Technically...I guess so. Little Heavier than usual, though.

Corvette, not really.

Camaro and mustang...no.

Per the dictionary:

"Roadster: an early automobile having an open body, a single seat for two or three persons, and a large trunk or a rumble seat."

However, the 1600 and 2000 SP/SR series vehicles (don't confuse the 1600 with the 510 model) are also referred to as the "SPORTS". From what I understand the name Roadster was also used by Nissan / Datsun in promoting the vehicle.

That's why when people refer to the "Roadster" you have people identifying the Datsun SportS 1600 or 2000, OR the BMW Roadster, OR many of the vehicles created from 20's and 30's and 40's cars.
