That's not really what the issue many of us are describing, though. Of course there's going to be a signal delay, but with this, the engine responds, bogs for 2-3 seconds, then surges forward.

What would happen to me is I'd give the car throttle and initially get put back in my seat, only for the car to STOP accelerating, bog for 2-3 seconds, all while lunging me forward because I was bracing for acceleration... then all of a sudden it'd violently take off again. It felt more like fuel starvation or TC/VDC cutting power more than anything else, although there's no evidence to suggest that's the case. That's what it feels like, though.

Bottom line is I solved the problem... I bought a new car. :/
