Lag/Delay at Full Throttle?
Has anybody noticed the delay in immediate acceleration when you hit full throttle from a rolling start? Its minor, but distinct. What would cause this and how might one get rid of it fast?

:rolleyes: For street driving...and road racing.... Squeeze throttle and brake pedals...do NOT mash em. Keep car balanced mininizing excessive weight transfer. :rolleyes:
If you try to "over drive" this car... your gonna be in trouble in a New York second. :p:

Throttle delay...are you kidding?? I'm somewhat used to driving a BMW 840 which has terrible throttle response (push peddle, wait two seconds before accel). The Z has the best throttle response of any car I've ever driven.

Re: Lag/Delay at Full Throttle? (Gomer)
If you wack the throttle open suddenly TC will detect some tire slip and back off the throttle for an instant until the tires hook up. With TC off there is no lag, but the tires might break loose and force you to ease off.
As stated previously a bit slower throttle tip-in on the part of the driver with TC on will likely eliminate the lag.
