i dont really mind the noise since the old datsun has absolutely zero sound dampening (used to it). but the rpm comment is a bit disappointing. on the m3, as the engine pulls to a nose bleed 8,300 rpm, its a sirens song. i drive with my stereo in mute cause i just love the engine/exhaust tones.

Hey - I'm the guy that had the same M3 as you and I switched to the 370z. First the road noise in the cabin is on the high level. Especially if you switch out the exhaust. I find it hard trying to talk on my phone via bluetooth in my Z. But you can get your 370z Dynomatttttttted..
I heard that helps..
On the unrefined sounds as the rpm climbs? I don't know about that.. I like the way my Z sounds but honestly it will never sound like my old 2008 M3. V8 Forced induction? I loved that sound!! But I have no regrets with going the 370z route. Overall I think it's a better looking car than the M3 and the cabin is like a cockpit! I have the one with the Navi and I love the look of it!! Again - nothing will sound like your M3.. But the 370z with the right exhaust will still sound sweet!
Good luck!! Hope this helps from a fellow - ex-M3 owner..
