The thing is, it even happens below full throttle as well. Case in point this morning... making a right turn from a stop sign onto a slow road, I eased out of the clutch and gave it probably 25% throttle at ~1500 rpm to briskly accelerate and again... nothing... then a surge of power after a few seconds of absolutely nothing.

I don't know if it's just me being over sensitive to the serious lack of torque in the 370Z, or if something may actually be wrong. I need to get the car on a dyno and probably see if I can drive another Z to compare the dynamics... Not quite sure what the hell is going on.

Above 4k RPM, though, the car feels like a champ.
