Tipex Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 350 wins on sound though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garcon magnifique Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 (edited) You're kidding right? I don't know what Nissan did to that V6 but it is without doubt just about the worst sounding 6 cylinder engine I've ever heard. Horrible drone that gives you a headache within minutes. And that after market exhaust doesn't help it much. Edited May 13, 2014 by garcon magnifique Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarMad Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 It depends which engine but I remember when the 350z first came out I'd just picked up a takeout and one left in front of me and belted up the road, sounded fantastic. I nearly bought one of the launch models but when I sat in it I didn't really fit well was quite cramped so didn't bother. Not driven one though or been in it moving it obviously sounds different from inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tipex Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 I think they sound great, only been in one on track so can't comment on what they are like on a long journey, but they sound great from outside. You can't even hear the AMG. The Youtube title declares the Z as having been humiliated, not sure thats fair really, yes the AMG has a trailer with small lawnmower on it, but also has almost 3 times the power, along with a price tag to match.

garcon magnifique Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 I did look at a 350Z not long after they came out. Would definitely have gone for gunmetal exterior and tan leather. It was quite a cool proposition at the time, with so few rear drive sports cars out there. In the end it wasn't the noise that put me off. It was the absolutely laughable build quality, especially inside. And to put that into context, I was driving Mk2 Impreza at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tipex Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 See now I don't have any concerns about the build quality or materials, all typical Japanese fare, including the obligatory 1980's digital clock. What I don't like is the tacky Fisher Price over styling of the interior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garcon magnifique Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 Agree on the Fisher Price, especially centre console. It was when the cheap plastic cover of the rear strut fell to bits when I was checking the boot space that I finally gave up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drpellypo Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 When the kids grow up a bit and I don't need a bus, I'm getting an AMG merc. This forum has sold me on them. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
