when i had my z the throttle lag was bad with the stock flywheel, going with the jwt it fixed said lag cause it was easier for the motor to spin up

just sharing what fixed the throttle lag for me and like everyone else said, a tune would also fix it

If you floor it and hit the biting point it seems like about 2 days before the car takes off - its the only thing that makes me miss the M3 which was instant.

Add to that it sounds like I'm flooring it in neutral scream type noise rather than a full on growl.

So would an upgraded exhaust sort this ? I have the OEM fitted at the mo - I know I won't be able to put up with this lag for long!

Same thing I noticed. Coming from an M3 Evo when I lived back in the UK.

+1 for the tune. Throttle response was the biggest difference we noticed after our Z was tuned.

Isn't the lag feeling dependent on gear and rpm ranges? 2nd gear 4k rpm pulls feel pretty freakin' responsive in my 7AT in manual mode.

That's why I suggested to get out of D mode and others are suggesting a tune. The lag is the ECU calculating how far to downshift. A tune however can make it respond much faster by changing a few ECU settings. When in manual mode there really isn't all that going on. Hell even manual downshifting 2\3 gears is pretty responsive.
