The only modification I'd like to do is adding a oil cooler for precautionary measures.

If not voiding the warranty is your rationale behind not modding the car but you're gonna do an oil cooler, you might as well do a cat-back, too, and really enjoy the way your car sounds!

What tires are on the car? A nice set of new tires will probably make you much happier in the noise department. If it's the stock tires they are loud. Much better can be had for grip and low noise. But I do see people not wanting to spend money so they put a stupid cheap crappy tire on the car and that may be your complaint with it.

Many of us have added Dynamat or something similar to reduce the noise. I did it to mine and it's much quieter.

So all those rock + sand hitting metal noise from rear wheel walls are normal?
the normal ride noise doesnt bother me, just when i go over roads somewhat covered with sand( roads are covered with sand b/c of snow+freezing temp) or those cement roads with pot holes breaking up.
when i go over them i cant really here anything, and i was wondering if these are also normal.

Only if you're driving through rocks and sand.

Yup. That's what drove me nuts. Dynamat got rid of all of that.

That's what the wife's Benz has. It's pretty effective!

This summer I want to do something about the road noise problem in my perfectly stock Z. The stock tires are too new to replace (only 5,000 easy mi.), so I'm considering Dynamat. The hatch area should be an easy place to start. But, unlike many trunks with a full, flat floor, ours is not. Question: Is the Dynamat one large piece attached to the underside of the cardboard cover or is custom cut to line the design of the metal?

It comes in tiles or sheets that you cut yourself and apply to the metal. It's pretty good at conforming to all sorts of curves and contours as long as you have a roller and cut your sheets nicely.

where did you apply? under the trunk mats or outside of car/inside wheel walls?
I think the right answer is putting it on the wheel wall(outside of the car/not under trunk), but just want to make sure.

I don't know if its because I have'nt learned fully how to drive the car but when I accelerate, its very noisy.

The car handles amazingly and has tons of power, but its just so loud and harsh.

I keep thinking its like a bad tranny or clutch.

The car is a 09' with 27k miles on it and has sports package.

Oh give me a break. I do not own a 370 but I have a driven a few. People like you bother me, you winge and complain about things that do not merit complaining about. It is a sports car mate as opposed to your cruise BMW. Get over it and enjoy the 370 or go buy another snoozemobile!~ "incredibly loud, harsh suspension, and sensitive clutch"?? C'mon.
