Contrary to what the reviewers say, I like the feel speed and power at high revs which is only supplemented more by some vibration or thunder under the hood...it's exhilarating. Don't worry about those reviews and especially don't let it stop you from buying a 370.
I actually work for an Audi dealership and have driven over a dozen R8s (track training) and a few RS4s along with owning the newest TT model (VR6) and driven all the other RS and S models and those engines are all 10 times smoother at higher RPMs then the Z. I had to get used to that about this car after purchase. But your also paying a huge difference in cost for those cars. That alone keeps me smiling!! I've also noticed that as the break in takes place the harshness subsides a bit.
