Gas Pedal Delay

That's just it- owners shouldn't have to do an "investigation" over why this specific model of car produces specific issues in specific scenarios, especially if they just want to report an issue and see if someone else has experienced it. This issue is specific to the 370- even the 350 didn't experience it (as an owner of both cars with over 150k miles between the two- the 350z forums also don't have a similar thread) It's not a matter of VDC according to the posters here, but there is a common observation of ambient air temp being a possible issue.

Your observation that it may be a dirty MAF sensor, or loose wiring doesn't explain these observations. You suggesting it's a lack of torque "since 4 cylinders exhibit the problem" is nonsense. If you had truly felt this problem, where there's literally close to no power for several seconds before the car "surges" forward, you would understand.

While I appreciate your comments, it's not the place of the consumer to diagnose and fix a design flaw (if that's what this is). All we can do is report our issue and try to root out a common cause, which is what's going on- it's not a "mob", it's a group of owners who are frustrated by their cars exhibiting a hard to diagnose problem that goes beyond your "it's a v6 it doesn't have a lot of torque" diagnosis.
