Default 2010 Grandsport acceleration problem

Question for the all knowing forum:

When driving down the road in traffic, my friend's 2010 GS seems to be having a delay to throttle inputs. Whenever they push the pedal the car is not going as it should, the car seems to surge after a few seconds of holding the gas pedal down. Any help would be appreciated. It's a 6 speed auto. Thanks in advance!

Is the car completely stock? No CAI or headers?

Correct. Completely stock. It sounds like a throttle position sensor is bad to me, but I'm not sure without a scanner to see if it is throwing any codes.

Oh yeah and sorry for the vague description, but that is the best he gave me.

Sounds like Launch control if it's from a stop.

Put it in "Competition Mode" by pressing the traction button twice (2x)

Or try a Sprint Booster if that's not enough
