guys, this vibration is in part due to the Z's more focused materials and transmission. The chassis is stiffer, the bushings they use all over the place are more than likely stiffer as well. The steering rack bushings and the shift linkage bushings must be harder on the Z because they wanted it to feel more awake and direct. All those little things add up to possibly make a big difference in the way engine vibration and noise is transmitted into the cabin and into the driver. Don't be upset if you sports car vibrates a little, its a small price to pay for more direct steering and agility. if you care so much then buy a lexus because you shouldn't be buying a Nissan sport coupe.

It's not the end of the world, stop bitching. If I'm going to 5k RPM, I don't care if the car vibrates a little, I'm probably not cruising around the city at this point.
