The obsession of peak over curve might come from the average age of the Z driver? I bet it is older than Honda drivers but less than Vettes...likely averaging the same as 'Stang drivers with a more narrow range. No...I am not slamming youth. It is just that younger people tend to view things differently and as I already said...there is nothing wrong with that!

It's not an age issue- just look at the Supra guys. 1100whp, but basically undriveable.

I started modding the 370 as soon as it became apparent that the car required an oil cooler just to get home uphill in mildly warm weather. Soon after I wanted the CBE power and to take away an exhaust note that I did not love. I then proceeded to adjustable sway bars and adjustable coil overs. As past experiance taught me, adjustments will occur with future unforeseen mods.

The results for me are apparent when I hit a straight away at the track and end up hanging with (2007) 911's and (2002) Corvettes. Any monkey can mash a pedal. Later when I pass them it all becomes clear, modding can help.
