Both of you are right. Gearing and mods redistributed how you feel initial torque. I like the way my AT feels in manual mode better than the manual Z though. As far as torque. Rough shifting in 2nd and 3rd gives the illusion of a torquier car. Some complain who want their Z to feel like a Honda Civic. I'm NOT one of them. I like the torquey jerkey feeling in 2nd and 3rd when decelerating or accelerating. The manual shifts a little smoother in those gears losing some of that throw you back torquey feel
