So much torque? LOL you sure you driving a Z?

Engine noise and transmission noises are completely normal. Just get used to it. That's just how these cars are.

Sweet you're from the Valley?! Nice! There aren't too many Zs over here in Brownsville. But back to the subject. Yea I get kinda freaked out when I'm pushing over 5000 rpm and God forbid something messed up on my car. Ill just drive off a cliff or something.

with that you're right, but lets go back a bit:

Me: i hear strange noises from the engine above 5000 RPM.
You: buy an extended warranty and keep killing it until your engine dies.

Well i was driving a Miata before so...

And in any case, I was driving the Z up the alps, torque is just fine (even though one can always use more power...)
