Default Slow pedal

OK i've got a thousand miles on the car and i'm getting a feel for it and now I notice that the throttle response is slow. Even in neutral when I press the gas there is maybe half a second before anything happens. Anyone else notice this? What is the problem? Can this be adjusted?

Nope, this is a factor of the Throttle By Wire system. You will get used to it. It has been doing it the whole time you owned the car but you are just now getting comfortable enough with the car to be noticing things like this.

I notice the same thing; this is a lame set-up in my view. I traded a 350z; it was drive by wire also and throttle response was instantaneous. I'm hoping the LS2 Edit will improve things.

It can. Have your tuner zero out the "abuse mode" table (just recently available in LS2edit). Your car will be much more responsive.

Maybe, if they're a "high performance" dealer. It can't be done with the normal dealer tools, you need the latest version of LS2edit to do it. That's something usually only found in tuner shops.
