I was out the other day about to merge (Honda with a tin can exhaust next to me) so I floored it to jump ahead of him and there was a good 3 sec delay ... really disappointed. Especially because in my head I was gonna own this guy, but by the time I accelerated I had to slow back down to let him in!
Had the same problem, I thought something was wrong with the car since I have only had it for 3 weeks. My 350zRoadster was fast off the line, my 370z was sluggish. I turned off the VDC or traction control, problem solved!

The traction control on my 350 Roadster was not this tempermental but I can honestly say it make the 370z feel like it's straining. I turn it off everytime i start the car now. I wish I could reverse the toggle so its always off and turn it on when I need it.
