I'd like to sound dampen things with some dynamat, but I'm worried about unmasking other noises that haven't bothered me yet due to the monotony of the road noise. For example, the high pitch whine from the ECM may be much more audible if I can't hear the tire hum.

If it weren't for the road noise and ECM whine, I think I'd still be very content. Or maybe I'm just Debbie Downer since the track season is over and I just put the winter tires on the car .

I will say that the MT makes the car. I'd be yawning if I bought the automatic.
I'm absolutely getting a 370z in 6MT. No auto for me.

You'd be surprised how much louder a GTR is than a 370z...road noise, tranny noise, suspension noise, etc. The suspension is A LOT harsher than the stock 370z suspension...
