Acceleration Lag in 3.0 & 4.8?

I read on other forums that people are experiencing a lag (about 1 second or so) prior to initial acceleration. Often times the problem appears hundreds of miles after they have took deliver of the car. And has been attributed to the transmission adapting to the driving style of the driver.

I'm taking into account that this lag might be subjective, so I've gone out to test drive the 4.8 a few times to see if I can imitate this experience. Often times driving more aggressively and other times more relaxed. I've even noted driving it in the two different modes using the sports button below the shifter. (The DS mode, by moving the shifter is just crazy awesome. No lag whatsoever). Till now, all my experiences with the 4.8 has not reproduced the lag. (Great news to my ears).

For kicks, I tried the 3.0 yesterday. And the lag was completely noticeable and unacceptable! Yikes!

My question is: How many people with 4.8 have experienced this lag (or have not experienced this lag)?
