Torque while you were moving doing a pull on the highway? The specs on the car are not good. Its nearly a second slower 0 to 60 time close to 1000 pounds heavier and almost identical hp numbers. The torque is 325 ft lbs vs the 350z 290 ft lbs. Every 100 pounds is equivalent to 7 to 10hp and .1 on a quarter mile.

Also this statement has too many variables tp factor in on you barely inching away. Like what gear were you in. What gear was he in. Do you have subs and heavy chrome wheels. Was there a sumo wrestler in your passenger seat weighing you down.
