I think (correct me if I'm wrong) that your lag issue is when lets say you're cruising at 50 and you need to mash the pedal to overtake someone, and there is lag until it kicks into a lower gear?

If that's the issue, you're kinda SOL, just build that into your driving time

^^^How I'm interpreting it too.

@OP: If you want good response, drive it in manual mode and downshift before-hand. There should be practically no throttle lag in gear (I can't discern any while driving hard at least).

If you're driving in auto mode, then what you're describing would be better put as transmission lag. The Z has a conventional automatic that still takes time to shift despite being pretty well tuned imo. You could try driving in M for a while, maybe get used to it. Eventually you'll find it more natural and enjoyable since driving feels more direct.
