However the throttle lag and/or shift lag concerns me greatly and is new for me since the reprog. I have noticed it 3 times. The first I was being cute and floored it from a 3 - 5 mph rolling start and the car did not respond at all (it felt like it was in 3rd gear or something) rather it just slowly climbed up to speed for a couple of seconds before dropping down into the right gear and taking off like a bat out of hell. It was a bit embarassing as it sounded like the car was flooding out before it kicked into lower gear. The other 2 times were when I was crusing the interstate and gave the car considerable gas to pull out and pass...again the car didn't downshift rather it felt like it "missed" even though the engine was purring smoothly and then finally started picking up speed gradually before dropping a couple of gears and taking off. That's a good way to get yourself killed at 75 mph.
Am I the only one with this problem since the reprog? I can't tell if it is a throttle response issue or if it a transmission shift issue and unfortunately cannot duplicate the problem at will. It just kind of happens and now I spend more time looking for it to happen and less time enjoying the ride.

I've noticed the throttle lag issue before *and* after the transmission software update. All I can do is assume they'll eventually figure this out and issue an update that fixes the problem; or replace the transmission.
