Gas Pedal Delay

Yeah it doesn't seem like a safety thing to me either. The best way I can describe it (if indeed I am experiencing the same thing you guys are) is that when you are driving at a certain way for awhile, let's say normal cruising, the ECU picks up on this and adjusts itself to give the car the best possible mpg etc. for that type of driving. Then if I were in say second or third (or even from a dead stop) and decide to stomp the peepee out of it, it goes like a bat outta hell without issue. THEN upon bringing it to a stop or returning back to a lower gear and normal driving, it will stutter a bit when the gas is applied (either from a dead stop or rolling in any gear).

What leads me to believe that it is an ECU thing is that it is consistent. In other words, it doesn't seem like a random problem such as dirty sensors or bad gas or something of that nature. This would also explain while at the track when the consistency of the driving is constant mashing of throttle etc, it wouldn't do this because the computer is setting itself for this particular type of driving.

Does this sound similar to what you guys are experiencing? It's probably a normal function of the computer but i find it a bit frustrating during spirited driving to yield to electronics rather than just have the car do what you want it to regardless like an older car would without drive by wire.
