40-70 is a gray area. If you do it in 4th, you're fine...however you're not usually "cruising" at 55-60 in 4th gear ready to go up to 80. If you're in 6th at 55 and go to 70, it's gonna take 10 seconds. If you're in 4th at 40 and go up to 70, it's gonna take only 3 seconds.
My GF, who often rides with me, says her head flies back whenever I accelerate, especially at the 30-60 range in which you inquired about. I feel the pull as well, but doesn't quite feel as substantial.
Remember, one of the "bad" things about the 370z compared to previous Z's and other sports cars, is that because of the build, it really "hides" some of the power from the driver. But trust me, the performance is there and very real.

Now accelerate from 40-70mph in 3rd and tell me what you think. Yes, intoxicating.
