Our engine has an awesome powerband where it actually matters (5500 to 7500 rpm), and I'm sure theirs does as well.

I'm not sure why people would be so caught up about low-end torque on a Z car. They've always been high-strung and gutless down low, with the exception of the 300ZX TT and maybe the 350Z.
which is why it needs tq there and why low end tq cars will get the jump on us.
