That's what surprised me. Nissan put NO sound dampening on this car at all. I do understand what people are saying about "buy a sports car, be prepared for a lot of road noise", but with the technology of today, it's really not hard to get a great sports car that is also not unnecessarily burdened with tire noise and a cacophony of rock & pebble sounds. As a person that does track their vehicle from time to time, I can tell you that (imho) 30 lbs worth of sound dampening doesn't make a smack of difference. I challenge anyone to take their Z to the track and quantitatively differentiate the difference in performance between 3,330 lbs and 3.360 lbs. Take a decibel meter and you can differentiate between absolutely no sound dampening and 30 lbs worth of your favorite dampening material.
