That's um....strange. Was it a sudden change in ride quality that you noticed one day? Or is it more of a 'now that I'm used to driving this car and the early excitement has subsided, it annoys me' thing?

I have the SP. My Z rides just fine. What was your last car, if you don't mind my asking?

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.

You had an NSX and you are complaining about the ride of the Z? Back to Senna with the NSX..weird.
Yeah semtex, I figured it might have been Imola...makes me sad to think about it.. It should feel somewhat similar than the nsx actually, I'm surprised you find it harsh... also why ever would you replace an nsx with the Z? |
