bmw does it. i guess nissan is following blindly. If any car needs it, it's the gt-r on a higher scale

Mustangs have had sound pumped into the cabin via a sound induction tube since 2010.

Using the speakers is the worst possible solution.

However considering the in cabin soundtrack is probably the #1 complaint about 370s...I'm surprised that nissan didn't do this year's ago.

Gawker drivel.

Could always disable the active noise cancelation mic inside the cabin. problem solved

I can see where sound cancelling would be very valuable in a 370Z, but sound "enhancement" sounds like Just Another Marketing Gimmick to me. It's one of those whatever-trips-your-trigger things to me - if you like, go for it, but I wouldn't pay extra for it.

If I were going to "enhance" my "acceleration experience", I'd use the sounds of a big-block V8.

the last jmag i read, the next z wont be out until 2018...

so i guess you guys still have 2 more yrs of washer mod. im sure you're relieved.

Stereophonic engine noise??? Cars can't be cars anymore because the EPA are a bunch of FVKKIN' PANSIES!!!

Thats where camaro/mustang wins

I sold my z last year in anticipation that Nissan was going to do something good with the next z, and soon! It's way overdue. This car is getting old.

I'm actually seriously debating buying a camaro because Chevy has actually been proactive and listened to what buyers want. Every year, the other cars get a little bit better and have real improvements. But not Nissan's z. Nope. They've managed to leave a car exactly the same for too long and not drop the price enough to make it worth it.

Thanks, Nissan, for the underwhelming nismo update in 2015, and for adding fake engine noise this year. You could have just added some nice exhaust that actually makes it sound like a sports car, but that would have been too desirable. Another year goes by and the z receives zero asked for improvements.

I think I'm just gonna buy an affordable camaro this year. At least their track model can keep its oil cool enough to stay out of limp mode.

The camaro is so ugly and common it hurts. The Z destroys it in appearance and rarity. Add that to the fact that all the trash and filth in the city buys camaro and throws 24-28" rims on them, I could never join that crowd of cars. Not with my dignity.

ajperretta, Warmest Aloha and enjoy your new Camaro.

I'm holding judgement until I actually hear it.

Limeybastard · 04-12-2015, 12:13 AM

Why the hell with the trend to hear fake engine sound inside cabin? Make the fake sound go out of the car idiots. Not inside.

Also my hunch, as I truly thought the 15 would be the last model year for this gen Z. Nissan boardroom must have decided to just milk it further instead of perhaps a gap until the next gen is released.
