Engine harshness

I'd be willing to bet that part of the "harshness" that you speak of is due to the fact that it is a V6 and you're comparing to 4 cylinder cars. A 6 will never be as smooth as a 4 or 8. That's just basic physics.

the road noise is not a deal breaker if you really won't the 370. if you know what your buying you learn to live with it.........

i will say the exhaust note of the 350 does sound better....

but imho the 370 makes the 350 look like a girls ride.. flame away......

Well,6 cylinders are mostly smoother than most 4 cylinders,it is only our V6,maybe the capacity is too big[maybe piston too big]+high revs=harshness..& for V8 it is the most balance engine,so smoothness is there.
