If we press the gas petal the car sits there for maybe a second or a little less before it goes, regardless of the amount of throttle being asked for. If you feather the throttle or floor it the lag is always present. If I floor it (100% throttle), it will sit there for a second or so then go. It will chirp all 4 tires and this isn't very comfortable in every day stop and go traffic (plus on occasion the tires have chirped and the traction control kicks in and then you really have an OH Crap moment as cars approach). This creates dangerous situations when turning into traffic as the delay is not consistant and many times when you are trying to quickly make a turn from a stop it will lag for a second then go and in turn the on-coming traffic gets a little close for comfort.
