The 370Z just pins you back and keeps you there with roughly the same force all the way through whatever gear you are in.

That is how it felt *to me*.

I then looked at a dyno and said "hey...that's why!"

Look at the HP curve on a 370Z, too. You will notice it is VERY linear vs. the Z06's.
I never feel that the Z is pinning me to the seat. It's deceptively fast, but it never really presses me back.

I can see what you're saying now, though. Thank you for clarification. That makes a little more sense to me.
