Look at it a different way, the 5.2 motor has to rev that high to compete with the LS7 in power output due to its smaller displacement. It doesn't mean it is a bad engine, quite the opposite, but without the extended rpm range it wouldn't be close to the LS7.

Again, revs are what that engine is all about. Less shifts, holding gears longer, peak power, power where you want it on a road course. There are reasons cars more so built for road courses rev higher, just look at F1 cars...
Comparing a pushrod engine to a 4 valve, DOHC, FPC engine is total apples to oranges if you ask me. But if given a choice on a road course, I would rather the Voodoo then the LS7.
