There is a product that you can buy the connects between the pedal and the wire to the computer. It stops the design lag from happening.

For the life of me, I can't remember the manufactures name. But is a aftermarket item.
Sprintbooster. But it does not fix the inherent problem of response. It merely fools the car with a magnified gas pedal input. With the hesitation issue, you can be aggressive with the gas pedal and it simply does not respond.

I fail to see the logic of putting priority of protecting the car over human safety. There are situations where you need instant get go. It can get dangerous if the power fails to deliver when it is expected. It is different if you know you have a low powered car (which is obviously not the case here). You will naturally reduce your expectations with the reduced power response.
