Likely this has to more to do with the natural imbalance of the V6, which has been exacerbated as they stroked the original VQ engine design more and more. Another engine recently revised with a longer stroke and VVEL is the VK50DE. How harsh is the VK50 in the FX50 at high rpms?
Edit: After finding Edmunds review, they stated that the VK50, 'much like VQ35/37 this V8 isn't quiet or smooth @ high RPM.' So we can rule that it's either the longer stroke, the VVEL or both.
