On topic:

If he says his last car was either a lexus, infiniti or merc then we have found the issue.

Senna was talking about Imola. He said it in an interview the day before the race. Going critical || Ayrton Senna

And yes, depending on what the OP's last car was, it will help put some perspective on things. That's why I asked.

Because I was thinking -- okay, I think the Z is smooth. But my last car was a 350, and my car before that was an S2000. Our perceptions of ride quality depend largely on what we're accustomed to.

Definitely the tires with the low profile. You may want to go to the dealer and test drive one without the 19's. See if it makes a difference for you, and change the wheels/tires. It is amazing how much of a difference a summer vs. touring all season tire can make on ride quality.

my last ride was a 2005 nsx and that car rode very smooth.

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.
