Throttle lag
Hey guys, I was cruising at like 45 and I buried the pedal. I heard the engine rev and a second later i took off like a shot, just a question. Why is there that second lag between burying the pedal and it being on the floor and the engine taking off. Is it just dropping or going up a gear before the take off? Thanks guys, appreciate it!

If it's an automatic (description: visually stunning doesn't really tell me much), then it is downshifting to a lower gear. If you were holding it in a certain gear, flooring it and feeling hesitation, my answer would be different in that it's a design thing that can be largely overcome with a VMax ported throttle body.

BTW, no one has demonstrated a performance difference with an axle-back exhaust system, so it really is just for sound, and the aforementioned chitsngiggles.
And so far as I know, the Iceolator isn't made for a 2012+ model. John B. |

Like the above poster wrote, I've heard the vmax ported throttle body helps. Not so much with power but response time. I too am looking into doing this.

I had this until I installed the following:
Vmax ported throttle CAI cold air intake. Problem solved.

As stated above, the ported throttle body and a C.A.I brand (or pick one of your choosing) intake takes up a lot of slack in the compromised factory design. You give up the silencing features of the stock system for one oriented more towards performance. John B. |

Truth be told, I experienced a more dramatic throttle response / better pick up when I changed my oem 20's with Michelin winters/18s. Reduce your unsprung weight - as dramatic as kicking a couple of buddies out of your back seat. |
