You have to get used to pressing on the pedal slowly. Dont worry you will learn eventually.

version 2 has a 3 way toggle that solves this or at least makes it easier to avoid this situation. The three settings are off/stock, sport mode, race - very easy to toggle between the three. definitely worth the upgrade. As far as the advice on how to not peel out in the driveway... I come up blank.

You have to be smooth in your application of throttle if you don't want the car to jerk.

Its a little jerky every now and then too. BEST ADVICE- do a search on resetting the gas pedal/transmission on your car. You basically hold gas pedal down for 25 seconds with key in auxiliary mode...You will hear some sort of chime or beep or something and then you will know that it was reset and then you can have the transmission timing adjuts to your style of driving. Helps to do this with booster.
