New member, new 370Z owner

glevchenko · 12-20-2012, 12:08 PM

Hi All! Just found out about this forum and instantly became a member!
I am also a new owner of 2013 370Z, yes, with new Daytime LEDs =) Quite an upgrade from my 350z Touring Convertible, which I owned for five years, and another 350Z before that. This time I had to wait for three month for the white one with orange interior. Man, I love this car!

There are two things I am kinda disappointed with though… One is Bose sound system (I have a sport package with navigation), and another - driver (me) is isolated from the car, no engine sound, no vibration… If I drive with my music loud, it feels like driving an electric car, don't even know when to shift, have to look at my tachometer. Anybody have the same feeling or it's just me?

Hi

and welcome, I'm a newbie too

In my experience you have to drive with the music up loud or you cant hear it over the sound of road noise ... but hey...I like loud music

Glad you're with us now!

Add an intake and exhaust, you won't have that problem anymore

Huh? Most people complain about the lack of sound deadening material and the road and engine noise.

I know... those most people often ask we why I keep on buying Nissan and not Audi or Lexus

OK, then it must just be you.

I've done it to my 350z... she didn't need it, driving convertible is noisy enough, so I guess this is the only solution.
