G&M Performance · 01-29-2009, 11:49 AM

^^ It seems to me that it's the crappy camera because the Z I test drove wasn't nearly as annoying. Maybe a window was cracked open???

^^^^ yea you could be right....that was ridiculously annoying tho haha ....just making sure because that would have been a real deal breaker for me

semtex · 01-29-2009, 02:41 PM

LOL...I don't know where all that noise came from. It's definitely not that noisy in the cabin.

TheManTheMyth · 01-29-2009, 02:42 PM
