I do agree with you on the harshness and sound of the engine up top. But from my personal experience, that "harshness" diminished significantly after 2k miles. The engine became much smoother, but the gross engine sound remained. This was resolved after installing some breather mods; and on top of that, the engine became even more smooth. The road noise is it's biggest downfall. But it actually only sounds loud if you have a passenger. It doesn't even bother me when I'm alone. I'm still riding on the stock RE50's which has gotten even louder with tire wear. But I'm confident there are some tire options out there that can solve this without losing performance. Every car has its "kinks" but not every car is as rewarding to drive as the 370Z.
