I'll agree with you OP. The only thing I can say is that it seems that we do have a lot of whiners here. Sometimes I wonder why the fuel starvation problem is still an issue. Maybe it's the engineer in me but I would have thought that by now someone on here, especially the guys that track their Z's, would have figured out a solution to the problem.
Also as far as the NVH complaints all I can say is it's a sports car not a luxury car. Maybe that's just because I've never had a BMW M3, etc. but when I think sports car I don't expect quiet and smooth.
