Using the latest quark Sivers functions extracted from the global analysis of available data on single transverse spin asymmetry (SSA), we calculate the SSA of Drell-Yan inclusive production of lepton pairs of invariant mass Q at both 4 < Q < 9 GeV and Q similar to M-Z in p(up arrow)p collisions at Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider energies. We find that the features of the asymmetry A(N) for Q similar to M-Z are significantly different from that when 4 < Q < 9 GeV. The A(N) near Z(0) pole is positive and sizable in the central rapidity region, while the A(N) at low Q is negative and only sizable in the forward rapidity region. We show that the size of A(N) is sufficiently large for a wide range of Q around the Z(0) pole, and even with the lepton pair's invariant mass integrated from Q = 70 GeV to 110 GeV, the A(N) is still close to 10% for the central and near forward rapidity region. We argue that the SSAs of Drell-Yan inclusive dilepton production at low Q, and that near the Z(0) pole, provide complementary information for testing the time-reversal modified universality (the sign change) of the Sivers functions.
