It's a flat six. No inline for Porsche.

Thanks for answering. Good friend of mine has a Cayman and not the S but he prefers my exhaust note over his. He calls his the farty one and mine the tenor. Which I felt was a pretty fair assessment.

But when I rode inside his car, I thought it sounded very nice.

This Z sounds pretty ridiculous

Th clip didn't work but here's what a relatively cheap exhaust can sound like.

Seriously, Mustangs are also good sports cars.

Only one problem is that there are too many on the street.

7th Generation just announced for 2021. That's, what? 2.5 generations compared to the 370Z?

He keeps coming back.... His posts as jungle z are some of the most idiotic, sophomoric, juvenile, imbecilic, moronic, simple, insignificant, blunder filled, unreal posting I've ever seen. He makes trolls seem like honorable people.

Now that the S550 Mustang has been out for awhile, y'all should know it has become the number 1 selling Sports Car in Germany. That's a pretty big deal. IMO the 370Z doesn't get the credit it deserves. It's a fantastic ride. The new Mustangs are also home runs especially for their entry price points.

Z is a true performance car not a muscle car. Its refined and a corner carver....for enthusiasts. The interior is unimportant to me...less is more and simple is better. I owned a hellcat ....boring, unreliable, overpriced, and handled like a boat...but better then a rustang.

even the s550, still does not deliver the same feel as the Z, its just a big hunk of metal that goes fast.
I drove the AT variant and I could send text messages in between gear shifts and yes it was in sport mode.

the hood is awkwardly placed, car feels large, base seats are bad.

Funny how an 09Z still feels overall better than a '15 GT.

In my mind that is the void that Motordyne fills, which is exactly why I went with it.
