Is the Z faster then it's given credit for?

I would say it is a quick car. It fairs well in acceleration and does very well for itself in handling. All this argument over the torque curve seems silly

I would say it is a quick car. It fairs well in acceleration and does very well for itself in handling. All this argument over the torque curve seems silly to me. yes 220lb/ft of torque doesn't seem like much, but in our cars it is very deceptive. the torque curve looks flatter than any gasoline or diesel engine I have ever seen. You never get that strong shove in the seat but it definitely gets moving very quickly. Also if your in second doing 10 mph, you probably aren't driving it too hard, so I don't see the issue here. Maybe they could have made a tune available for those that wanted the shove in the seats, just neuter the low rpm band and let it get to normal in the middle of it.
