Nissan 370Z Forum  

What makes the Z's engine sound so bad (to reviewers)?

I think the new engine could use a little bit more low end torque but besides that I like the fact the the engine isn't a beast until after 4000rpm.

I think the new engine could use a little bit more low end torque but besides that I like the fact the the engine isn't a beast until after 4000rpm. It makes the a good daily driver. Then when you want that extra power just slame it above the 4000rpm range and go to town.

The engine reminds me of and old turbo car I use to have to be honest. All that power kicking in above 3000rpm. Having said that I can see why there is an apeal for a Supercharger rather then a Turbo in this vehicle.
