Why does my Nissan 370Z engine sound strange while accelerating?

I recently bought a used 2009 Nissan 370Z and noticed that the engine makes a strange noise while accelerating. It's not a loud noise, but it sounds like something is off. What could be the cause of this issue and how can I fix it?

Hi Maxwell, it's not uncommon for older Nissan 370Z engines to sound a bit strange while accelerating. This could be due to a few different reasons such as worn out spark plugs, a dirty air filter, or even a faulty engine mount. I would recommend taking your car to a trusted mechanic for a thorough inspection and potential tune-up.

Hey Maxwell, it's possible that the strange noise you're hearing is a result of a loose or damaged heat shield. This is a common issue in Nissan 370Z models. I suggest having a mechanic check the heat shield and repair or replace it if necessary.
