200 hp with your foot mashed to the floor lugging at 1100 rpm isn't going to seem like a tow beast to the driver. But it wouldn't be bad for sure.

I'm not sure why folk keep referring to wide open throttle as 'just off idle'. It's anything but that.

The Ford 2000 6.8L V10 puts out about 300HP and 400lb ft tq @ 3800 rpm compared to about 450HP @ 3800 rpm and 650lb ft tq @ 3600 rpm for the LT4 6.2L V8.

Look at the chart again.
