No, I'm not saying it should be "quiet" at high RPMS but it shouldn't sound like its going to blow up either. What may be "amazing" to one doesn't always mean "amazing" to all.

As far as reviews well I read and most times they get it right depending on the source but I still give the car a try despite the reviews.

In the end it depends on what you personally want. Personally I'm not too concerned with test track numbers. If the Z happened to run the 1/4 in 15.0 but I thought it was amazing to drive I would easily take it over a car that ran the 1/4 in 12.0 but wasn't much fun to drive.

I read some review (I think Road& Track or Car and Driver) that stated that the Z's brakes don't dissipate heat well due to design flaw. Something about how the engineers being too obsessed with looks over function and hence the brakes don't receive enough cooling.

I would have never known this just taking it for a quick spin so that's another good reason to follow up on reviews from credible sources. So it looks like at least an oil cooler and some sort of brake cooling mechanism would be required to run the car hard.

Considering how hot it gets here in Florida that's something that concerns me. Anyways still gotta try some others like the Boss 302, EVO X, etc.
