Most of us get this lag as well, but for me it's not just 1st gear. There are times I can punch it in other gears, and it feels like the throttle isn't opening up 100%. It feels like power isn't there under 3k RPM, which was a long time complaint until owners started wondering about the throttle lagging or not opening up fully or fast enough.

When I turn VDC off it's not as noticeable. I've owned both a manual
and an automatic, they both do it (and so does the G37 I've driven,
which convinces me it's just a characteristic of the engine). It does feel
like there's this dip in power after the first 1/2 second or so in
acceleration. Don't know about neutral, should be able to though
