Mine was fixed w/ my software upgrade to ver. 15.0. Maybe fixed isn't the right word, it is vastly improved. As an earlier poster noted, there is no longer a physical link between gas pedal and the engine. Where as earlier, the hestitation sometimes caused me to be cautious in jumping out into traffic, the delay has now become so small that it is almost not noticable. Still there, as the computer processes the signal from pedal to enging, but I no longer find myself second guessing about how the car will react. Was the issue really solved by the upgrade or has the car just re-learned my driving style? Who knows, but I definitely find the problem to be "resolved" to my satisfaction.

Well, it's been over two months since my update, no issues. Good luck.

Mine did this too, when I start the car in the morning and its cold, however as I go on a decline and feather the throttle the car goes nuts and causes the motor to wind up and BANG from the rear Differential unit, i mean BANG badly Car is in DS mode

Dealer programed and it still does it, it almost feels like a car doing a nuetral drop

Only happens in the morning on the way to work, same sport almost every other day.

Live with it? Do we have a choice?

It is a delay because it seems the cars electronics are getting confused with my throttle input, if i mash hard im fine when I barley press the pedal it acts up like this and causes the delay and bad bang.

I got the car back. The transmission seems better. Much more responsive on takeoff. I'll see how it behaves over the next couple of weeks as it re-learns my driving style.

Definitely the lag appears to be gone.

i know the relearning process but what is the best "new" driving style and make sure the lag is not coming back again ?
