Hmmmmm I have actually heard this also, that the 2ZZ is too "lifeless" below 6k, when they compared the celica to the ITR DC2R ( the old shape ITR). In saying that, it was quite a smooth engine though when I jumped in a Sportivo...... I think the 2ZZ is a more refined engine than the B series engines in the old ITRs, then again the B series design was already 10 years old when the 2ZZ came out. But yeah for a performance engine, it seemed too sedate, from a few aspects of torque throughout the RPM range (not much down low),and also from an acoustic point of view.
For the "fun factor" of driving I would have to say that nothing compares to the B series engines, more so the little 1.6 B16's found in Australia in the 3rd Gen CRX and EK Vti-Rs. I say this cause the activation of Vtec is so pronounced in the B16, (read: BIG jump in cam profile), compared to the ITR's more linear shift to Vtec.
