It definitely lags. With this vehicle I no longer pull out in front of traffic and gun it. I give myself a lot more time. Putting the tranny in DS mode does help some.

One of the most annoying things is taking a corner and hitting the gas mid-corner to accelerate through the turn. Just can't do it. Tranny is always in granny gear. I hit the gas, nothing happens for a second, then it starts to accelerate.
