Comparing Nissan torque numbers to Mercedes. Then comparing exhaust notes between Mercedes v6 and nissan v6. I say Nissan needs a lotta help these days on lower end cars. MB already uses almost identical engine technology. We would be getting from Mercedes is refinement. The sounds and torque that should be me in a proper sports car.

I bought this car because it is a Nissan built in Japan. I was tickled to death to see the first letter be a "J" in the Vin. Cars built and assembled in Japan are so much better than being assembled anywhere else. My wife has an 03' Maxima that was built in Japan. It was much better than my 2008 Maxima I just got ride of. I have been driving Datsun/Nissan's for 27 years. Exhaust note has nothing to do with how an engine performs and it's reliability. I personally would like to see a 2.4 liter straight 6, twin cam with variable timing (exhaust and intake), direct injection, and for our Nismo, a turbo charged 2.4. The Datsun/Nissan straight six engines would run forever with very little maintenance cost.

I've owned 2 infiniti's and 5 nissans. I know that nissans are generally good quality for the m obey. but I spent 35,000 dollars on a sports car that sounds like a sewing machine. That bothers. Both my G's sounded awesome. The Z and my Altima 3.5 nearly sounded the same. That's not good to me. I shouldn't have to spend money to make my car sound like a sports car when it is in fact a sports car. When buying an enthusiastic vehicle, yes exhaust note mean something to me. Torque means 10 times more to me. The Z gets a D+ on torque for the manual and the C+ on the automatic. Let's push it up two an A+.

I'm about nissan progress, not about nissan fanboy.

LOL, Let's just agree to disagree. Modifying to your likes has always been part of the game. I have owned the following Z's.

1974 1/2 260z
1975 280zt, currently still have.
1978 280z
1980 280zx
1983 280zx 2+2
1987 300zt
1990 300ztt

So, I have had just a few of them. I am not counting any of my other Nissans I have owned. Nissan fan boy, ah, NO. I do love a Z car. Never did like the 350z though.
