Why doesn't the Z exhaust note :purrrr: like the G37

Thanks for the thread revival and agreement. Since I've made this thread, it's confirmed to my ears that our z34's don't sound as definitively Vq as the others but at least we can take comfort that we are the sports version and weigh 300lb less. If it were as light as a frs, all the better.
On another note, the amount of gas this car sucks up is horrible as a dd. a sad thing that Nissan didn't integrate direct fuel injection into the engine. Even the genesis has it

I averaged 27MPG driving 100MPH on my way down to Florida earlier this month. Living there now, I average 26MPG overall. Definitely not a gas guzzler to me. My 2013 Nissan Altima rental 2 months ago was averaging 30MPG overall in Florida. 4MPG compromise is nothing if you ask me.

The problem is that the Z is not a congested big-city car, especially not for NYC. You really begin to appreciate the car soooooo much once it's in a state like Florida. I used to average 17MPG in NYC.

Wow this tank gave me a range of 240 miles.

Christ...what part of Texas do you live in? Is your car modded without a tune, by any chance?

I'm in Orange County, FL (about 20 miles west of Orlando), and there is virtually no congestion here. But yeah, I got just around 425 miles per tank on my drive down, and I was driving really quick.

I'm in dfw, not too much congestion. 40 highway 60 city.
The best i get is 360 miles to the tank combined, 440 straight highway.
