Oh I see what you're saying now. Well From my experience with it on a boosted engine, not the Z's, it has always fallen as fast, if not a tad faster, than the time it has taken me to push in the clutch shift to the next gear and release the clutch. Especially on 2-3 4-5 shifts. I may not be as fast as a DSG auto, but the .5 sec it takes me to shift is enough time for RPMs to fall enough to where it matters. And of course peak range for torque is more efficient this way.
EDIT: I'm sure a lightweight flywheel would also help it fall faster, when it's not holding the same intertia
