Thats waaaaay more than just saying it seems maxed out--the statements made here are more akin to saying this motor is garbage.
Actually, if you were reading reviews in 2009-2010. This was the normal. Its what inspired Z hate and killed the sports car sales aside from Bush's wars and econ plans. The Z's NVH was grossly overexaggerated by many. NVH is above average and only slightly abnormal for a sports car of this caliber. Also, NVH issues decrease to normal for a sports car in the automatic Z.
