Read the forum. Plenty of threads on this issue plus DIYs if you want it quieter.

Upon further review...

Yes... for the money it is hard not to consider Z as a purchase. I too noticed increased road noise over other vehicles I have driven. Either you're ok with it or not. The question is, can you live with it? And will it be your daily driver?

He's paying a compliment and pointing out something that is noticeable guys.

nicknick... this ain't youtube... relax. You're giving us a bad rep with that bolony.

I've found that the 370Z with the Sport Package makes significantly
more noise than cars without it (the SP includes lower profile tires &
larger wheels- 19"x9" & 19"x10" instead of 18"x8" & 18"x9"). More
road noise is to be expected since the wheels are physically closer
to the road.
