The Z isn't that noisy (unless my hearing is finally going). It's true that some dedicated sports cars like Porsche, have become more refined. But what the hell, I like the noise. It's part of that "race car" on the way to work experience.

I did swap the Potenza's for Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus tires to handle the cool, wet Seattle climate. They are quieter than the Bridgestones. But once we get warmer and dryer I am putting the Potenza's back on.

Come to think of it, my Z is quieter on the track. Maybe its that helmet. Ok! Solution! If you don't like the noise, wear a SA2010 helmet in the car. It really cuts down on that road noise.
