As to low-end grunt, the Z really gets toasted here. It takes 5.8 seconds to do a 5-60mph run. That is compared to 5.1 from a stand-still. Nearly 3/4 of a second difference.
The 5.0 manages the 5-60 in 5.1 (same as the Z from a stand-still) and 0-60 in 4.6. Roughly a 1/2 second difference.

That seems odd to me so I'll have to test that when I get a chance. Where did you get the 5-60 numbers for the Z? Personally, I'd clutch it, rev it up, dump it and catch a moving launch that would be just as solid if not better than a standstill launch [only on closed roads of course]. Not sure how the Z will handle this though since I've only done that on lightweight Hondas.
