wheee! 09-29-2011 05:34 PM
Funny thing is, my Lincoln is supposed to be more luxurious than the Z but the Touring seats are way more comfortable than the Lincoln!

I love road trips in the 370!

How about this for a concept: At WOT or during aggressive driving the engine and exhaust noise should sound like a sports car. Or cruising with the windows down should offer the sports car experience.
But going on a 400 mile round trip freeway cruise at 75 MPH and with a passenger shouldn't cause you to have to talk in a very loud voice to have a conversation, or have to turn the stereo up to 15 just to enjoy some tunes, or leave you fatigued from the excessive noise level either.
This car is a GT. I find no discomfort from the ride or the seats on long drives but the road noise really is unacceptable.

DwightFrye, after careful and comprehensive analysis I have determined that you are a "aggression on demand" kind of guy.

Dwight Frye 09-30-2011 05:59 PM
Nothing personal towards you Guard Dad. I was actually agreeing with you that it would be nice to have the sports car sounds on demand and not have it being annoying as a daily driver or touring car.

We are in agreement! I too am an "aggression on demand guy" I like to know I'm driving a sports car when I'm on the gas but the rest of the time I prefer the car to be in GT mode. Hence my classifying you as "aggression on demand" rather than "constant aggression" type.

If you want 450 V8 horses... get a bloody stang or camaro. But don't buy a Z and say..
I wish I had trunk release. Buy a G37
I wish it was quieter. Buy a G37
I wish it had a V8. Jdm sports cars never been v8. Wish for FI, not a v8.
I wish the tires weren't so noisy. Buy new tires

When I wish for something its. A warranteed oil cooler, a brake cooling slot intergrated into the body or internals, FI model or eventually DCT like the GTR. These types of wants are conducive to JDM culture. Respect the culture. Its like the camaro in 4cyl. Hahahahaha... what a joke. Does anyone remember during pre-production of the camaro that chevy was talking about a 3650lb 250hp turbp 4. Hahahahahaaaaa. A turbo 4 in a camaro is like tits on a bull.

MOD what you like just don't make complaints to nissan that aren't condusive to jdm culture. I rather nissan stop making the Z in the US if its like that?
What is JMD and what is MOD?

Mod as in modification, and JDM as in Japanese Domestic Manufacture, or something along those lines.

Have you had any sound dampening done? I have and it really changes the car for the better..especially on long trips... i have a six and a half hour ride scheduled for tomorrow..

Why even buy a car that qualifies as unacceptable?

Because a test drive doesn't tell you everything.

You can't trust the370z.com because some people over there have traded the Z in for Mustangs. Lol jk.

Changing the tires to Michelin Pilot Sports has changed my life. The little lady no longer mentions road noise and drone. The number one complainer outside "the forum".

Even better is the handling. The Potenza's were fine. These are better. I doubt I will get the 7200 miles out of the Michelin's like I did the Bridgestone's. They are so soft.
