Do you literally mean NO sound-deadening? None? I find that hard to belive, unless you were just being figurative/meaning very little. The car wasn't that loud when I took it on the highway. In my back yard, I got it up to 110 and it was comfy, solid, and quiet as any sports car I have ever been in.

Resonance chamber? moreso than any other smaller/sporty car? Again, I did not notice anything bad, but I didn't drive/ride more than about 15 miles all-togather in the 370's.

Not arguing, just wanting to clarify as your opinion seems a little more polarizing than my experience.

None. Nada. I tore apart the hatch to put in some Second Skin product in and there is literally nothing there from the factory.

And the hatch does act as a resonance chamber. There's no separation from the trunk area as there is with a coupe or sedan that's got the back seat. That's the reason why the roadster (with the top up, obviously) is quieter than the coupe!

I have everything stripped out of the back and the car is stupid loud on the highway, can barely hear the radio. With the mats and plastics in the back it is a lot better but definitely not G37 quiet.

Haha, I drove mine like that once. Took out all the foam from the spare tire area and the mats. I agree, it was LOUD!

So there is insulation of sorts, no?

If you consider the foam that holds the spare tire in place, then yes. But aside from that there's absolutely nothing.

The 2 carpets are the insulation. There is a little bit around the plastic trim pieces but that is just to prevent vibration I believe.
