That said, some people (myself included) have noticed at times some sluggish low RPM response when the oil is > 220. I don't know what that is, but it isn't limp mode.

Hey Z QUALITY......interesting note you wrote about voiding warranties. You "indicated" that a full synthetic is required to not void the Nissan warranty, however, my Nissan dealer's normal oil change for my new Z is regular, non-synthetic oil. I have free oil changes for life as part of my purchase, but paid an upgrade difference for the Mobil 1. My dealer didn't even offer the Nissan, ester-based, synthetic oil everyone talks about. My dealer/service manager thought my whole conversation about oil was pretty silly.

Also people mean different things by "spirited driving" I've never kept my revs wound up to 7k for 15 minutes straight ... more like 4-5k spurts on the twisties during my Lime Creek Drive runs

When in doubt, just run the manufacturer's suggested viscosity, ie. 5w30. FYI, I run mobil 1 0w40.
