Improved Low end?

Hmm...I think the problem with your question is that it's subjective. What may feel like a a strong pull off the line to one person may not feel that way to another. I can tell you that it has gobs of low-end torque compared to an S2000, which I once owned. I can also tell you that a number of guys in R32s tried to take me in my S2000 and were never successful, so infer from that what you will. I think there's only one way you can definitively get an answer -- go take a 370Z on a test drive.

Question: Your info says you drive an 08 R32. How can your lease already be up?

I agree that I am asking an opinionated question but any car enthusiast who has driven a lot of different cars should be able to answer my question. Have you ever driven a 350z with the REV-UP motor?

Yep. I had an '06 350Z with MT before the 370. Why? FWIW, the 370 feels plenty quick off the line to me. The 08 R32 has what, 236 ft-lbs stock, right? The 370 has 270 ft-lbs. I don't know what the weight differential is though. In any case, here's my most recent dyno. Now, my car isn't stock, but it should at least show you how flat the curve is, starting at what rpm.

Also, how can your lease be up already on an '08 model?

I only did a 24 month lease on my car.

On paper it looks like its got some down low.....hows the 3.7 pull off the line compared to your 350? The R is heavy like 3800lbs what the weight on the 370?

The first Gen R32 is closer to 3400 lbs. Not a lot different than the Z...
