Is it just me...

I have to admit, NA sounds so much better. Drove in tandem with a 3.7L 370 yesterday. Turbocharged engines don't sound as good. Now the Porsche 991.2 and S58(M series), and B58 sound good as turbo cars.

V6 turbos have this issue and it’s made worse with the DI. My 300zxTT I went through about 4 exhausts until I settled in the Labree exhaust, and it was amazing!

Economically and the fit (V) can be placed in a variety of Autos and Suvs etc at nissan. I get why they do V. Inline 6s are longer and need more room.

God I hope so lol. Those boxer engines they put in those and the BRZ are nice for a cheaper fun little coupe but the Z's twin turbo V6 is and should be on another level.

What has surprised me the most about the Z, and it's just my lack of owning a newer sports car with more refined suspension and quieter cabin... etc. is how 100 mph feels like nothing and so little effort to get to that speed.

No offense to anyone but I could care less what it sounds like at a stop light or parked. I just wanna drive it and it sounds great when you run it.

Oh my god yeah, this car just wants to be going 100+ mph all the time, like it’s nothing. And it just gets there so fast, it’s a whole different level.

American NA V8's will always be the best sounding engines to me. Depending on the car though, some are a lot less fun to drive

Sound is the real 4D!

I've owned a C5 Corvette, two Cobra Mustangs, a supercharged Saleen, a Trailblazer SS with an LS2, and my RCF had the 2UR-GSE which is a phenomenal V8, and they all sounded great (both in stock form and with aftermarket exhaust).

As for this thread, I'll add that I wasn't hating on the VR30, I'm just getting acclimated to the different sounds...wanted a little reassurance this it's normal as I have a tendency to listen pretty closely to cars and pay attention for any changes that could potentially indicate an issue.
