So after reading all this, I wonder if it's possible that something's wrong with mono01's Z. Like maybe a shock gave out or something? Seems very unlikely though. That's why I asked if he noticed a sudden change one day. Anyway, a visit to the dealership wouldn't hurt.

Why the switch?

I've never driven an NSX, so I don't know how it rides. But if your NSX had stock rims (17" IIRC), the Z's 19" rims with low profile tires might be part of the reason.

I've only test driven the Z (w/ sport), but I was impressed with the ride quality. My cars have ranged from luxury ride (Benz), to sport luxury (BMW), to sport (M3 & FD RX-7). My old FD was an R1 model, designed to compete with the original NSX, but it had the harshest ride of any car I've owned.

NSX is a nice ride! I just test drove a Z (7AT) today - Touring model. More impressed with the AT than I thought I would and the ride was smoooooth to me!

was that z with the sport package or without.

how does your new 370z ride on rough pavement?

Dude, you already started a thread on this.

http://www.the370z.com/nissan-370z-g...370z-ride.html

well, since it's a performance car with low profile tries
(low profile tires have less side wall area, so it doesn't flex to absorb bumps)

you'll feel every single bump & crack on the roads to ur bum

Actually it rides very nicely, nicer than the 350.

This is not ment to be snarky but doesnt any car have a rough ride on rough pavement? I understand that a VIP sedan with a bags or a lifted truck is going to be smoother than an NSX but still, rough pavement is rough pavement.

Make sure the tire pressure isn't low.
I say take it to the dealer and make sure you haven't somehow blown a shock if it truly feels different from first purchasing it, but either way the Z is going to let you feel the road.

Please keep the thread on topic. If you don't have anything to say related to the OP's question, please stay out of it. There is a useless thread in lounge for useless replies. This goes for all threads at all sections at our forums (Except off topic section)

Whoa, I feel like I just traveled through a wormhole in the time-space continuum with the thread-merge!

Okay, to keep this post OT -- mono01, I've actually been thinking about your question, and I have to confess that I'm having trouble coming up with an answer, because what constitutes 'rough' pavement is kinda subjective. Do you mean something like a road with a few cracks and expansion joints? Or do you mean something with massive potholes? And here's the thing. One's perception of ride quality in general is subjective. What feels comfortable to me might feel awful to someone else. So when you ask 'hey guys, how does your Z ride' -- well, will our answers really have any meaning to you? Too bad there isn't a way to objectively measure ride quality. Like with roadholding, you can objectively measure the g's that a car can pull on a skidpad. I'm not aware of any parallel for ride quality.

SEMTEX What are you talking about......nothing happened....did it ?
LMAOOOOO

AK merged two threads together. See post #21 above? That used to be post #1, then I pointed out that mono01 had already started an older thread on the same topic (which is this current thread), and AK nuked the new thread and transferred all the posts to this older thread. Which is how post #1 became post #21.

I followed that...but what about all the posts that were deleted with the useful information? Did you miss them ?
