Red Zed, on 1 test drive I knew the Z was loud. I cranked up the bose/nav all the way and still heard NVH. I hit 105mph on my test drive because I wasn't walking away not knowing all those little things. I can understand buying this car in 09 and the NVH issues not being so real to buyers. But 2010??? No excuse for not knowing this. So I see where luna Z is coming from. I still stand by the fact that I respect any mod and modding for comfort is fine. . Its just complaining about a known fact is pretty dumb. I owned a G37s and I gotta say, the difference in general performance is negligable. You barely feel a difference until you start hitting corners at high speed and steering feel has some more heft on the Z. Get wider tires and they feel heavier. The G is quieter, has way more features, has 2 extra seats and leather is standard. Looks ridiculous with a 1.5 or 2inch drop and spaced. Even accel times aren't much worse, 4.9 on the auto vs 5.2 on the manual. Just a tick slower than the Z's 4.6 and 4.9 with lateral grip matching a base Z with .94g. They get even closer on the quarter mile and the exhaust sounds better. Me personally, I wanted a smaller pkg. Dfw highway driving is like being in a war on wheels, so having the maneuverability of a small car was better for me. But contrary to most of the exaggerations on here between the Z being sooo much better. I think they are pretty even for people just looking for a fun to drive car that you intend just to speed every now and again and drive a little aggressive. Which is what most of you guys do anyway. In a G,NVH is very good and has 100lbs of insulation the Z doesn't have. Lol. I recommend a G before a BMW. At least you get a real lsd and sport brakes, something bmw doesn't provide for there so called sport coupes. Add an oil cooler and you're good to go. ![]() |
