I can't completely blame this problem on DBW because I never complained about lag issues with the 350Z. Plus, my dad's '05 Xterra and my '08 Accord doesn't lag either regardless of temperature.

To put it it this way, the Accord DBW does not lag driving back in forth in and out of town on a hot summer day. The 370Z starts having issues passing other vehicles while driving out of town. Passengers describe it as me letting off the throttle while passing.

You would think downshifting to 3rd and gradually pressing the throttle from 20%-70% would mean progressive power, but it's not the case with the 370Z. During normal operation, it will progressively open the throttle. When "hot" it feels like power progresses between 20-40%, dead 40%-50%, decreased and dead 50% and beyond (as if throttle is being let off). It's an exaggeration, but any of you get my drift?
