I think maybe the M6 guys feel it more than the 7ATs. I get a lot of that coarse feedback not only from the seat but from the gearbox and the clutch as well.

I am willing to deal with it but it does irk me every now and then considering the test drives I did with the Cayman S... so every now and then I think about how silky smooth that engine feels compared to the Z. But thinking about the price differential usually kills any "should have bought the Cayman" thoughts.

Though it is funny, I think, that my '03 Mustang GT's 4.6L V8 was a lot smoother and a little more refined feeling than this V6. I'm not really a fan of the gearbox in the Z either so it kind of annoys me every now and then.

Maybe I'm just picky, though. I've pretty much accepted the fact that no matter what car I have I will never be totally happy with it.
