I agree with Red370! Kudo's Bro!!

I don't even know how to respond to this whole thing about road noise, or any other noise for that matter. The sounds my Z makes is something beautiful to hear, and the feeling behind the wheel is above any words I could think up to write right now. Driving my Z Roadster is just plain GREAT. I absolutely LOVE everything about my new Z! This is just one absolutely terrific car. Every chance I get, I am driving it, anywhere, just to get her out on the roads is plenty enough for me. Returning to this noise thing, sometimes I turn off the radio just so I can enjoy listening to all that my Z is. Buying my 2010 Z was one of the best things I have ever done. I'm a happy man!!

All the way out! You don't need to see the sides of your car... you already know where that is! If you do this and your seat is in a normal position, and your not 4ft tall, you will not have blind spots.

You know I was just thinking this today as I was making a left turn. Hrmmm

Aside from that... the biggest complaint I have is all the gas I go through... because I can't stop driving my car because it kicks total azz!!!

Exactly right. This car is all about involvement and visceral response. This is NOT a GT, it's a Sports Car! If you don't like the noise, maybe you just don't get it! Go buy a toyota!

Was it on a 3+ lane highway? Your mirrors will only cover you on one lane each side. He could have moved one more lane over, or moved in from one lane over to be next to you. All i can think of.

Also, the amount you can turn your mirrors out depends somewhat on their vertical adjustment as well I believe

I have yet to drive a 370z yet, only sat in one etc. Here's what I do not like as of yet:

1) Gas gauge looks gaudy
2) Rear visibility
It's even worse than my RSX. I understand it's a sports car, but, as mentioned, the navigation touring models should have a rear camera. I'm going to add this myself with a carputer
3) Rear c-pillar bar
I wish it was just a metal bar so I could mount my camera up easier
In regards to the road noise. I'm going to dynamat it heavy. Plus that's not really a big issue as I will install a killer soundsystem haha.

In my RSX:

1) FWD (although I can drive it in the snow)
2) No torque
3) Plastic center piece in the middle of the rear seats
4) 3rd gear pop-outs

Car Talk | How to Avoid the Blind Spot
Try turning them out all the way, then adjust the up and down to center the cars in the mirror in the right and left lanes.

Use your rear view mirror for the center balanced view, then watch as the car passes you , on either side, now you lose the image in the rear view, but immediately pick the car up in the side mirror, then or course, you'll see the car as it passes you.

This is how mine is set up.

Does anyone feel like the car is too small? I posted a thread about it today, got a good look at the 370Z, it just felt a bit cramped.
