Ah, that makes a lot of sense. I wasn't aware the tune actually made it "peakier" than the regular 370Z. It's definitely underwhelming below 4000rpm, and then you hit 5k and it's like "hold the f*ck on."

To be honest I'd prefer more mid range torque because that's where 99% of my driving happens. It's also what I love about my Ducati; it may not have the top end power of the inline bikes, but it pulls like a freight train anywhere between 5k and 10k.
