Engine harshness

nicknick

Guys i will not be posting anymore about his subject. i meant no offence but unfortunately some of you took offence. Sorry. I wanted to add a 370Z to my 2 car stable but not anymore, maybe the next model. I have now set my sights on a Z4 E85 model. Who knows maybe I wont like that either.

i really find it funnty about the sound issue. The G37 guys are removing the felt liners and sound deadening to make the cars lighter and then you get the other side with the 370Z where some are trying to make it quieter and adding weight. End of the day if the road noise is an issue get a G37 simple done and dusted. Personal tast i guess but I like loud cars.

Took you long enough to decide if the 370z is the right car for you. But whatever, good luck on your next car. Please come back and let us know what you purchased.

wow the fact the we just completely crucified this guy for voicing an obvious complaint about the engines in these things says a lot. He did not create this post to flame on anyone. ALSO, as the owner of a 370Z i agree that the engine noise at high RPMs from the factory is exactly as he described "harsh". i love my z, and yes an exhaust + intake mod fixed this, but for any of you who don't think this motor is a little coarse sounding from the factory need to ride in a porsche or m3 and see exactly what he means. our cars don't sound BAD, dont get me wrong, just not as pleasurable of a sound of some other 6's.

Before i get any negative comments along the lines of "Judas" or anything like that, consider that everyone is entitled to their own opinions and should not be condemmed for expressing them.

Furthermore, i would like to say i hope you harber no hard feelings for everyone on this forum nicknick, as many are just extremely proud of there cars, and some get defensive. as to be expected.

No harsh feelings to anyone on here, i love this forum and 370's, but i think we can do a little better at politely disagreeing.

Cheers!

Well stated.

Nicknick, I am truly sorry to hear that you have decided against the Z. Im sure that with some tuning and time you may have come to love the vehicle as much as a number of us on this community.

I am truly interested to hear what you do choose to purchase when it's all said and done. Come back and let us know, k?
