Just seems like they love to screw everyone who wanted a 370z. We get subpar paint quality, loud and noisy transmissions, a harsh feeling motor, so much NVH, crappy CSC problems, etc.

But the most disappointing part is I still love this car! The looks and the feel just cannot be matched with anything else out on the market for the price range; there are very few modern cars that really put that big of a smile on my face! But I've already decided, in a few years I'm trading in the 370z on a C6Z06.
This is a 28k dollar car...this is made to compete with similarly priced vehicles, which it does remarkably well. This car is about perfectly balanced for handling and power, and putting a substantially more powerful engine would either require a much better suspension that would compromise ride quality...or you would have a car like a corvette that's hard to drive fast for average joe.
