Z shopping
I test drove a 40th anniversary edition Z yesterday. I was very impressed with the car in all aspects except one. It seemed very loud (road noise) for car this expensive I was suprised. I was wondering if it could just be this set of tires? Are the 18" any quieter? Would dynamat make a significant difference? I currently drive an 07 Altima, love the car, I'm hooked on Nissan.

ITS A SPORTS CAR, your going from two completely different cars, only similarity is they are both Nissan. The 370z will have more engine noise and tire noise due to how low you are to the ground, the type of tires, size of the tires, the motor cause all the power it creates, etc.

well it was the only manual trans 370z ii could find at any dealership close to me (long island) so i needed to test drive it. that was at another dealership, they were very stubborn. Then the car had a completely discharged battery and was sitting in the middle of hte showroom(dispite the fact that i had made the appt a week in advance), and the car stalled when the mat got stuck under the clutch and i couldn't restart it on a main road. overall miserable experience.
