Why does first gear in every other car feel and seem faster than the Z?

The car definitely lacks power at low rpm's on the street, but pulls good at 2000 rpm in fifth or sixth gear.
I remember uprev telling me that Nissan limits the throttle to 80% or so for speeds up to 20 mph [in newer models]. I think tbey also mentioned that an osiris tune can bypass this feature.
