Excellent evaluation of the 370Z. I bought mine about a month ago (Touring / Sport in Platinum) and am having great fun driving it. I was a little afraid of buying it at first after reading many reviews on this forum describing the road noise. I was pleasantly surprised, that it is not as bad as noted by some folks.
It isn't like the Lexus I was driving, but the Z is a SPORTS CAR. When I drive over pebbles I hear them hitting the wheel wells, but 99.9% of the time no pebbles are present. There is some road noise on certain surfaces, but being in a sport car with big tires -- it is expected and not a turn off. One guy on another forum reported the tire noise was so bad he couldn't hear the Bose radio --- that is nuts, at 70 mph I can hear the radio with no issues. I only have 1,000 miles on the Z to date, so haven't really kicked it yet due to the break-in period, but I can tell you it has great power. I am really glad I made this purchase. I was riding in the Lexus, and am driving the Z. I think I'll go crank it up now. Zoom Zoom Zoom
