[QUOTE=GingaBreadMan;169929] I have noticed the Z doesn't give you a good sense of speed. QUOTE]

I agree, I was on the high way the other day and the speed limit dropped to 55, I thought I slowed down a bit but I was still going 75. Here in AZ our highways have a speed limit of 75 so I wasnt going over the speed limit by that much, I try to keep it to -10 mph over and I still get passed all the time.

I figured out that by knowing which gear im in helps me judge the velocity at which im traveling. And there is certainly some growl to let you know that the engine is above 4500 rpm, that what I enjoy about the Z. Its engine is quite at low rpms, but once you hit it...WHAAAAAAAAAp
