1) I find it quite interesting that someone doesn't realize the ride quality of a car (M2) during the test drive.

2) 350Zs ride more rough than an M2. I lived and breathed owning and working on the FM Nissan/Infiniti platform for 7 years.

3) A 350Z feels more torquey? Huh? I've owned lots of Nissan VQ cars including the VQ35 in a G35. They are torquey for an NA motor. Torquey compared to a N55/S55? Not even the same ball game. I guess if you drive your N55/S55 around in Comfort or ECO mode it might feel a bit soft, but a switch of the button to the Sport throttles and you're set. A 350Z runs a more aggressive throttle setting all the time. The N55/S55 is putting down well over 100 more ft/lbs of torque to the wheels than a VQ35 or even the VQ37.

4) The OP notes a plastic oil pan on the S55 or N55? Nope.
