Noise when disengaging clutch in 1st

nis350 · 12-23-2014, 04:50 PM

well said. the z is just very noisy, not just the engine, but also the transmission. there is so much noise while idling and it can be quite scary if you are new to the car. It seems to have more when cold and evolves into different noise when hot.

I thought I had a rod bearing problem when I first got the car. Yeah, the shifter also vibrates more than usual.

Both the engine and trans have been around for a long time. Hopefully they have worked out most of the bugs.... And it is normal to consume some oil within a couple of thousand miles.

Its a sports car its meant to be that way.

With Porsche you even have to pay more to make it sound and feel mechanical
such as the GT3

Porches are so quiet on the inside you don't even know your speeding. In the z you feel like your speeding all the time cause its so loud.

Have you driven a GT3 RS?

i think the noise you are referring to is actually road noise from the tire, road and suspension.

The engine & exhaust is fairly tamed.

I was reffering to the road noise.

I have not driven a gt3, but I have a 2013 cayenne turbo, and its very well insulated. You don't hear a thing.
