Cabin noise

I have said it before, and the 370Z is a GT. It should be comfortable on long cruises and the high noise level detracts from that substantially. And I don't mean big Lexus, BMW or Mercedes comfortable and quiet, but it could be much quieter than it is without affecting it's performance by enough that anyone who isn't tracking it at 9/10th's would ever know.
Nissan failed at something that was an easy design parameter. A 300 mile cruise would be much more fun if you could hear the stereo better and not have to practically yell to speak with your passenger, or yell to use the built in Bluetooth and have the person on the other end ask if you are driving a convertible with the top down.
