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?

that describes it a bit better. sounds like you may have a dead spot in your gas pedal, i dont know. That definitely describes a problem, especially if passengers notice it. It also describes something Ive never felt in my car, regardless of the temp. all I can suggest at this point is to go to a dealer and ask to test drive another one, tell them what your experiencing, and take it from there. If the other Z doesnt do it, they can have something to compare your with.
My moms TSX is horrible with the lag, as are most DBW cars I get in my shop.
