I never had this kind of delay other than the gearbox shifting
isn't that only if you did it in regular D mode, if you were using the paddles (which i would imagine you would be if you were flooring it), it'd be the same.

I actually merged yesterday, and after i was at speed i realized i didn't even remember downshifting before i floored it (which i most certainly did)
