I suggest you try and mimic the conditions under which these events occur and do it in DS mode with the VDC turned off. Be CAREFUL though because at some point things will get squirrely.
DS mode should limit early converter lock up and demand higher shift points, and the VDC off gives immediate power application without consideration to wheelspin.
I know that there is a substantial driving character change with the VDC disabled. It is like mild mannered Clark Kent took off his glasses and unbuttoned his shirt.

You are definitely on to something. I turned off VDC and the throttle lag was basically gone. Much different experience (even in regular D mode). Though I didn't get out on the highway, it was much more responsive and didn't give you that "spool up" feeling. Only downside is that you have to remember to push the button each time since it's technically a safety feature.
