Well i just got my new 06z mt, and i realized from the inside it is much louder, and makes more of a powerful and aggressive noise. From the inside of the 03, it sounded a lot quieter and sounded like what the z sounds like from the outside. Can anyone agree? or is it just me?

I had a 03 Z and now a 06.
What I do notice is that the "rev-up" engine in the 06 sounds more refined in the upper rev range. My old Z felt buzzy up near redline, but the 06 sounds strong and refined throughout the entire rev range.
