My Mazda RX8 REVS to a wild 9000 rpm and is as smooth as , this doesnt sound good for the 370Z guess a test drive will tell .

Rotory motors have very little vibration due to the lack of cams and other. But pop an apex seal and vibration galore! That is why you get a buzzer and a shift light standard. They make great power, but guzzle fuel. I had a 93 tt R1 best car I have owned. I used to race and beat people with my cruise control.

I don't think the vibration is from the engine on the 370z feels more like the drive line possibly the clutch, or flywheel maybe transmission.

I know when I put the Nismo exhaust on my 370 with out the dampner it vibrated to hell. Yet when I added them the vibration went away.

My NISMO does not vibrate as bad as the 370 and it does not come with the dampners on the exhuast.
