The 370Z just pins you back and keeps you there with roughly the same force all the way through whatever gear you are in.
That is how it felt *to me*.
I then looked at a dyno and said "hey...that's why!"
Look at the HP curve on a 370Z, too. You will notice it is VERY linear vs. the Z06's.

I never feel that the Z is pinning me to the seat. It's deceptively fast, but it never really presses me back.
I can see what you're saying now, though. Thank you for clarification. That makes a little more sense to me.
