I haven't had the issue on mine, just trying to help. The penny trick is what? Glued a penny on each of the popers?

09 sport/touring and the interior looks great. It is my DD and it is garaged in the evening. I also drive it in winter. I clean the leather and put leather conditioner on every couple of months. I have no rattles and have not had any warranty issues. No complaints so far. I've done nothing to the suspension yet.

Variance in test data? I'm sure it's all well within the margin of error.

I understand variance, but 3300# and 275's out back being within .2g of 3300# and 325's out back and a dry-sump with lower CG in every test I have EVER seen for both the 370Z and Grand Sport that wasn't written with a "gravel on skidpad" disclaimer? The front tires on the Grand Sport are as wide as the rear's on the 370Z.

I would hope it's within .2 G

Mine makes a noise while the gear is in neutral and it's gone when the clutch pedal is pressed all the way down. I can hear the noise everytime I started the car. Other than that, love the car. 9,500 mi DD.

My 03 G35 did the same thing. It is just they way our cars are. I would guess the 350 did the same thing.

Some cars just have a noisy T/O bearing. F-bodies with the T56 were the same way.

That's extra weight right there, people spent $1000 to shave 1lb off their car with Carbon Fiber and fancy wheels .....

You guys need to lay off the whole benchracing thing. If you have a chance to drive both, you will know the difference. The Corvette is an extremely difficult car to drive. I owned a non Z06, but I have driven many Z06s and I can tell you they really put the scare in you at the track or even in a parking lot. Heck, I am afraid to drive it on the street. When you spin in a fast car, you hit things a lot harder as you slide a lot more.

Yes, but that extra weight will help balance out our Front/Rear weight distribution.

We need to strap Oprah in the back to get the 50/50 weight distribution

Did you guys know the car is more front heavy than the 350.
