Far more torque down low than a Z to allow either car to just get on up and go off the clutch.

Isn't that necessary in an S2K? In a 370Z you can coast at 5MPH without even a slight buck and comfortably accelerate - I do this a lot at yield, slow down, school bumps, and even stop signs - no qualms from the car. Again, that's because the Z has enough torque to maintain the momentum in 2nd gear at 5MPH.
I've driven an S2000 ages ago, and I recall it not liking being in 2nd gear at anything below 5MPH, you felt it as soon you slowed down past 10MPH in fact.
