My gripe is that this issue is the Rodney Dangerfield of threads, "it don't get no respect". The "I just don't get/it's a sports car/deal with it/ turn up the radio/get a cat back exhaust types just don't seem to know when to quit. Every cabin nose thread is littered with put downs and dismissive commentary about the issue. Yet I cannot recall anyone posting comments like "just slow down" or "it's a street car, what do you expect" when someone posts that their oil temps are too high or that their brakes are fading at the track. But talk about too much noise in the cabin and people can't seem to control themselves.

Read this thread, those addressing the issue have taken the time to post thoughtful, helpful, well reasoned and very well written comments that are on topic and of real value to many of us. And then there are those other posts that are sarcastic and dismiss the whole subject out of hand. Everyone here knows that the Z is a sports car, and that with its emphasis on performance it will ride rougher and be louder than most cars. So why restate the obvious and in an unpleasant manner to boot? It serves no purpose and after awhile becomes rather irritating.
