BTW I don't understand who purchases a car to drive it WOT most of the times.

It's because the 5 liter V8 in his Benz has a lot more torque.
My girlfriend has a CLK500 which is slower than my Z (though it does run ~13.8ish), but just driving around it feels a lot faster. That's what 340 lb-ft of torque at 2,700 RPM will do. Those V8 cars have a lot of grunt and instant response down low.
With the Z you need to wind it out a little bit more to get the power out of it.
