I agree, torque is in no short supply as compared to the old SVT. It's nice not to have to go over 3k-4k RPMs to get any kind of oomph out of the SE-R, unlike the SVT. Short example, usually when I leave my development, which exits onto a highway right after the crest of a hill, I get on the throttle a little bit since cars come flying over the hill at a good clip. In the SVT, I'd have to wind it up to 5k RPM in 1st/2nd to get going. In the SE-R, I can keep it well under 4k RPM and get better acceleration short shifting the 6-spd, due to the torque. 
Yeah, same experience in our Spec-V. Nice to be able to short shift without bogging the engine. The 6-speed it a little too closely spaced for my taste, but it adds to the torque multiplication so it is fun
