I find the 370z to be plenty fast for me, but I'm not looking to blow up every stop light. The car will light up the traction control in first and second gear with ease. Turn off the traction control and you can hang your *** out in the wind all day long. In a nut shell it's got enough power to have fun. Go test drive one and get on it a bit. There isn't any reason not to find out. You don't have to take it up to 7k to feel it out. Surely the salesman won't mind you reving to 5k in a couple of gears. That will show you what it has.

I was referring to Noise/Vibration. I did not hear anything nasty at 6K on my test-drive, but then, I wasn't listening for it.

I don't notice anything. Car feels fine to me at 6k. I don't know where these complaints about vibration come from unless it's guys who swap out there exhaust, put coil overs on etc.. The car from the factory is plenty smooth IMO for a sports car. The bridgestones are a bit noisy on the highway, but I can live with it until they are worn. The michelins are a lot less noisy in the views.
