At first I thought it was delay, but not anymore. It's just the feeling of the throttle not opening up at lower revs. It's a completely different feeling compared to the 350Z (definitely more consistent even if it is touchy), and I guess that's what everyone's missing.
Losing power due to higher ambient temps is one thing, but the weather is much cooler now. There are times I can break the tires loose in 2nd from a roll, and then there are times I can't even get the car moving in the same gear even with VDC disabled. It is pretty inconsistent. There's this weird feeling when pressing down the pedal that the car would accelerate, but falls flat the further I press down on the pedal. The same for 1st gear. There are times it'll surge to redline, and other times I can hold down the pedal and not get the tires to spin out. I tend to get the car moving in 1st at low revs around 1-1.5k RPM, and the car ramps up real slow. I'll even floor it, and it makes no difference. Past 2-2.5k power surges, which makes it tough to get the car moving smoothly because I'll go from bogging to giving it too much gas to get the car moving.
Plus, revving in one spot just for kicks is funky. It revs up slowly compared to the 350Z when briefly punching the pedal to the floor. Anyone notice how much harder it is to manually rev match with S-Mode disabled? My time is off, and I have to hold the pedal down longer to get the car to rev when down shifting or I'll bog.
[EDIT] I'm going to check the brake switch again. I had similar symptoms a couple of years ago, added a shimmy to one of the brake switches, and the car was great fun to drive again.
