As far as times are concerned, Motortrend has professional drivers, so out of all the mags, I trust their numbers the most.

Edmunds has never been known to get the best 1/4 mile times out of cars.....

I can't believe they trash it so much for road noise. Really?

I like how they admit how silly this is and yet continue to whine about it.

Just maybe the 370Z is too much car for those boys. What real man would whine when she digs her nails into his back and screams fire when she's pushed hard!! Maybe they're more comfortable reviewing the fart-can's! You know, like attracts like........ LOL

I test drove a Zed a while back and had no issues with road noise, in fact the only issue I had was saying WOW what a great car for a while after!

PapoZalsa · 03-06-2010, 09:51 PM

I like my 370Z, PERIOD!!!!!!!!

buweet · 03-06-2010, 10:06 PM

I don't even own a 370z and I like it. Road noise, you gotta be kidding. These "experts" will be really whining when the mfg improves this car like they did when the introduced the 280zx.

I have an 09 370Z and don't know what road noise they are talking about. Yes, there is some, after all it's a sports car not a Caddy...hello. If i don't want ANY road noise all i have to do is crank up the Bose stereo.

geez.... man up edmunds....

Road noise? If they want to compare road noise, they are welcome to go for a spin in my 1972 Corvette - the Z is whisper quiet compared to it. And I have driven my Corvette from SoCal up to the Bay Area and back (approx. 8 hour trip each way) and didn't suffer any lasting effects from that.

The Z is perfectly fine in the road noise/NVH department, thank you very much!

Werd.... I JUST took a spirited drive in my Z. I LOVE the sound of even the stock Z at low and high RPMs. I do not know what all the complaints are about. I cannot WAIT until i get my CAI and exhaust done. She will sound out-freakin-standing then!!!

Pharmacist · 03-07-2010, 11:29 PM

all sports cars will be somewhat noisy due to skinny tires, stiff suspension and chassis, minimal sound insulation, etc..........

is it that the z is unusually noisy for a sports car or is it that most editors are used to lumbering luxury suv and sedans and are not used to the noise? i mean cars like a corvette, viper, f430, s2000, etc are they less noisy than the z?

My Z is quieter than my ex's G35 coupe.

Rocks being thrown in the rear wells are a different story, but overall the Z is the winner.

that's kinda odd. my G35C is quieter but the stock exhaust note is louder than my stock Z.
