I think with some of these cars the sensation of speed is different, the Z is so low to the ground and handles so well that sometimes you don't realize how fast you are going.
I agree with this statement 100%. The Z does not feel fast, but it is fast. Just on the way into the office this morning I was doing 60 and stepped on the gas just a bit. I could feel the car pull a little, but was very surprised when I looked at the spedo and saw I was now doing 85 (and that was only at 5500 RPM); I had to back off quickly as it was too fast for that stretch of road.

Even in 1st gear when it feels like you are not going fast, I find I am typically moving much quicker than I thought.
