Sounds more like something Toyota would say. "It just the pedal tension...the ECU has nothing to do with it." Is Nissan about to pull a Toyota?

The Nissan 370Z gives me the same feeling. Every time the tire roar gets so overwhelming that the radio volume needs to go up to maximum, I think about the Nissan engineers cheaping out on the acoustic insulation for the cabin air extractors.

I am no engineer so I have no clue if what they are saying is true or not.

What road noise? The 370z is not noticeably louder than any other car I've ever owned, with the small exception of driving over dirty roads. Seriously this "issue" is way over blown. It's just not that loud at all don't understand the fuss. Don't believe me? Test drive one.

Maybe you folks with bad road noise have done too many burnouts and wrecked your tires.
