We go back to the same point over and over... and the fact of the matter is that an engine that is made to rev high and for sport driving should be MORE well balanced and exhibit LESS vibration. The engine internals are put through so much more stress, being a sports car and all, that it should be a LOT smoother to aid in its longevity.

Does that make sense to anyone else or is it just me being crazy?
You're on the money....Coarsness bothers me. When an engine revs smoothly to redline it feels like everything is working in Harmony. Too bad it's not as good as the Hyundai Coupe in this regard. Certainly not as nice as my last Boxster. I tend to short shift at 6K as a result...
