[B]I test drove the 350Z three times during the decision-making process. In the end, the S2000 felt like more fun. Now that I've had it for a week, topless driving at 9,000 RPM on mountain roads confirmed that I made the right choice. I force everyone that test drives my car to go to at least 8,000 RPM.

I completely agree, shingles. Rare M5, (no flame intended) you are giving an apples and oranges comparison. If we're talking complete bliss, why don't we talk about a Ferrari Modena or Lambo or something...
Now, what about the Z-4?

Raj,
Coupes will always be more inherently rigid than convertibles. Just cut the top off a cube and flex it. No comparison.
However, the S2000 was designed with a very interesting frame structure that is a bit three-dimensional and offers good rigidity. IMO, the S2000 has less cowl shake than most other convertibles. However, Tokyo_james had a spider crack in his windshield and literally was able to watch it spread as he took a sweeper.
Bottom line, it's relative. The S2000 frame is outstanding, but still compares unfavorably to many cars with rigid roofs.
