My twin turbo Porsche just accelerates smoothly off the line and its a turbocharged engine where you would expect turbo lag. The 370Z, being normally aspirated, should accelerate more smoothly than that. Really the best analogy I have is when we used to mess with 60's musclecars and Holley carbs, we'd get that "bog" off the line when you'd slam your foot to the floor and we would tune it by changing out power valves, jets, etc. until we got that smooth application of power. I'd never expect a modern EFI to bog like this off the line...
Try launching at 3000-3500 rpm and report back. I don't think you're revving high enough. My 'vette will bog if I launch below 3000 and hence, I've never launched below 3000 in the Z. It never bogs at 3000 and above.
