Audi S4 has similar power than the 370, they have gears that are shorter. Same with STI/EVO. There are cars made outside of Kentucky
Prius has CVT?

Yes, my Mustang was made in Detroit, as was one of my Trans Ams (one 4-speed auto, one 6-speed manual), and the other in Canada, I believe. My G20 made in Japan.

All of them have/had taller gears than a 370Z. Yes, even my G20.

I guess you're right, some cars are geared lower, I just have 0 experience with them and found the 370Z to be geared similarly to my 5.0 after I put 4.10's in it. They redlined at about the same (I believe I ran a 6700rpm chip, then swapped for 7K rpm chip in the 5.0's 6AL), and I found myself shifting the 370Z like I shifted my 5.0, rpm-wise/speed-wise.
