Is the 370Z really THAT loud???

sheps58 · 10-27-2010, 09:47 AM

My daily driver is a BMW325ci very quite. My wife and I drive together in work everyday.

I have had the 370z for a week We took a 2 hour drive. My wife and I have no complaints. The car does not have the growl of my Old E-Type but the hard ride is to be expected. I also had a 280z. I enjoy my 370. I had the opportunity to purchase a preowned Corvette 2000 or a 2001 911 or a 2006 Cayman.

I chose the Z price ,performance ,looks ,handling. I do not mind the limited rode noise. I am 51 so perhaps my heraing is not as good as it once was.

I want to sound like a giant scraping his feet upon a side building, whereas the humans worship the ground I walk on.

My thoughts. At idle the 350 sounded better. the 370 is very quiet at idle.
the sound's at higher revs are different for each car,but both are great.

hands down the 370 has a smoother ride. i think most of the road noise comes from the crappy bridgestone tires.

i have no rattles or other issues (knock on wood)

anyway anyone who has owned both will tell you the 370 is twice the car the 350 is except for the 350 drivers.

I dont think its entirely due to the tires.. on smooth roads its fine but on anything else its very loud and annoying..of course keep in mind i am 66 so it doesnt take much to annoy me!!
