NVH. Overexaggerated. Its well balanced with ample power and extremely fun to drive. But we can't love our cars too much cuz mustangs with brembo pkgs are the best cars on the planet and outhandles bugatti's.

Z weaknesses,
Torque isn't as immediate as i'd like.
Trunk can be a little bit deeper.
Of course solving the oil heating issue is costly.
It eats a lot of gas for being a v6.
Base radio is the worst I've ever heard. Bose radio is not far behind.
Weak exhaust note at low rpms.

Z strengths
Incredible cornering
0-120mph happens very fast.
VDC keeps this car on track on bumpy roads that cause extensive slippage.
Seats comfortable and well bolstered.
Looks beautiful compared to other cars in its price range.

Immediate needs.
Oil cooler
1" drop via coilover or suspension mods.
Intake and exhaust
Aftermarket stereo.

Most beneficial mod.
Forced induction.
Automatics need transmission cooler.

Overall thoughts.
Its my belief that with mods... the Z would be more than an amazing car. The stock car screams potential when you push it and find its strengths and weaknesses.
