One thing I neglected to mention in my original post was the sound of
the Z4
doors closing. The doors have the tinniest sound you can imagine when you
close them. I thought that car manufacturers made a science of making doors
sound solid when they closed. I guess the Z4 design team missed the memo. In
comparison the TR6 door sounds like a vault door when you close it. As
someone
pointed out the noise level of a convertible can become very high at speed.
The Department of Consumer Safety came out with a study that showed that the
road noise at highway speeds from a modern convertible with the top down could
generate decibel levels that could damage hearing over a period of time. Just
for the hell of it I'd like to know what the decibel level of a TR is at 65
MPH. Could it be that we've all been, figurative speaking, driving at the end
of a jet runway all of these years? Bob Rochlin '72 TR6
