You are full of bovine excrement. I've owned several true sports cars and have hearing damage in one ear from gunfire and countless deafening rock concerts and years of riding un-muffled motorcycles and the 370Z is still too loud. And the tires are a major culprit. I'd love to take a SPL meter and drive a few sections of freeway that I'm familiar with at 70 MPH and see what the readings are on smooth asphalt vs. the common grooved surfaces. It's TOO F'KIN LOUD on the grooved surfaces and ruins what should be an enjoyable long cruise. Windows down and flogging it through the curves I don't care, but taking a 3-4 hour freeway drive and having the road noise drown out the stereo unless it's turned up to 17 or making conversation with a passenger difficult is unacceptable. Excuse mongering for Nissan is not the answer.

I had the G37 and G35. Previously before those I owned a 93 rx7. From the rx7 to this. The Z is way more refined. I won't compare the Z to a G37 or 3 series bimmer cuz I understand the world of difference between cars. When you buy cars for looks and social attention, you will make comments like. "Oh this car is too loud." Why? Cuz you are a baby to the sports car game or you are fakin it and you know you should be driving a SUV with 1000 lbs of sound deading. Sports cars aren't for whiners who need luxury.
If you have experience in dedicated sports cars you know the Z is rather tame in noise.
