Why the F&%K would I want a quiet race car!
And a slightly notchy stick is more fun 2.
F&#k the reviewers. Take the minor criticisms like those with less than a grain of salt.
The Z is perfect fun.
Wow.

We aren't talking so much about sound here, its more the vibration at high RPM that bothers some of us I think. Just because its a sports car, it doesnt mean it should feel so coarse and out of control at high RPM. We go back to the same point over and over... and the fact of the matter is that an engine that is made to rev high and for sport driving should be MORE well balanced and exhibit LESS vibration. The engine internals are put through so much more stress, being a sports car and all, that it should be a LOT smoother to aid in its longevity.

Does that make sense to anyone else or is it just me being crazy?
