Just bought a 370z.....SO LOUD

tonybui · 02-26-2011, 07:14 PM

The guy said the ride doesn't bother him, he just wanted to make sure if that is normal for the Z

Trips · 02-26-2011, 07:26 PM

Is it completely stock? It might have an aftermarket exhaust or high flow cats? Pics of the exhaust to verify its stock would be nice. Normally it's a pretty quiet exhaust. The ride is a little stiff but not harsh by any means.

drivetrain noise is very common on this car

i concur with with triple's.
we all know how z owners like to modify the car.

Daishi · 02-26-2011, 07:44 PM

The z is usually a bit noisier but we don't know the condition of the vehicle what tires are on it and the condition etc. Just because tire kingdom inspected it doesn't mean much because it doesn't mean that they know what they are doing.

christian370z · 02-26-2011, 07:56 PM

I personally find the Z to be surprisingly comfortable in terms of ride, and while there is a fair amount of road noise, it is no worse than many sports cars . I believe that a sports car like the Z should be raw and some of these imperfections add to that persona. I actually think it should have a bit firmer of a ride stock, it almost feels too soft for its abilities.

LunaZ · 02-26-2011, 08:24 PM

All these posts have me paranoid now.
I wonder if my Z is noisy too.

cfweber · 02-26-2011, 08:36 PM

I guess you noticed the Z is not exactly a BMW in terms of quiet ride

How was the test drive?

congrats on the Z

I got used to the noise in a couple months

kenchan · 02-26-2011, 09:15 PM

yah make sure some goof didn't do a washer mod...

fighterinsnat · 02-26-2011, 09:22 PM

Wow thanks for all the feedback!!

I drove the car more tonight and I'm starting to get used to the noise and a
Learning to drive the car smoother.

I understand that the tire kingdom wouldnt be able to totally inspect the car.
I'm going to take it in to nissan just for ease of mind.

The bottom line is I absolutely love the car and I look forward to driving it. I was just not expecting the contrast in ride quality.

The Z is pure sex. It is hot, loud, and rough!

Rui Z · 02-26-2011, 10:11 PM

You can always go test drive a new Z at a local dealership to see if it makes the same noise as your car.

Waiz · 02-26-2011, 11:56 PM

It's definitely loud, but what sports car isn't?

Wait until you start modding...upgraded tires, intake, exhaust all = extra noise
