this..

basically the motor at least in its z form is the opposite of what it should be. it should be inspiring as it revs up, yet it makes you cringe a bit instead. it is a major (and major is a good term based on just about every review and personal experience) drawback to an otherwise great car..

and sometimes thats how it is with a motor.. an otherwise well built piece just makes your teeth rattle as it spins up..

as to those who poo- poo its 'misely' 332 hp from 3.7L, it wasnt too long ago that c5 vettes came with v8s that produced 350hp and that was top hp from american iron NA motors..
