LOL, maybe I was being too conservative with the throttle and not letting it rev past 3k RPM.

I went house searching over the weekend and drove the car quite a bit with ambient temps hitting 92F. The oil temps hovered around 210F max, and I even had the A/C running. To be honest, the car didn't feel very sluggish. It was the typical slight power drop with the A/C running, but it was able to pull hard in 2nd and 3rd with virtually no lag. It was a relatively good day to drive around and not bog gears so much.

All I've done so far was remove the fang vent covers a week ago when reinstalling the headlights.

Anyhow, the car is down again to get one headlight shipped out for repairs.

Just drove the car and experienced this lag for the first time.. I was about 20mph then suddenly floored it, and then a good 1.5 seconds passed before the car started to move.. It happened many times and specially when I'm going slow in a curve or something.

I think it has to do with the VDC... will try again tomorrow in manual mode vdc off.

We've already determined that VDC is not the culprit, at least in the lag that we are all experiencing. VDC intervention is usually very easy to detect -- not only do you see the light flashing, but you can feel the car cutting power, applying brake, etc.

Did you ever have VDC kick in but not see the light? I've been searching around to see if it continues flashing after it interferes for a specific amount of time or what. Can't find any info.

Reason I ask is, I did lose power taking a right-hand turn from a dead stop with the car cold, tires cold, etc. and I could maybe see VDC coming on because I did tip in pretty aggressively, but I did not see the light.

I removed the fuse...

I'm not proposing that VDC is the culprit for the throttle delay issue, if that is what you mean.

I'm trying to determine if I experienced the problem in that scenario or if I could have just missed the VDC blink (or if it was some other issue.)

I'm thinking it was VDC. I hope.

I also had this one happen... i was on a slight uphill - needing to merge out onto a road with speedy traffic... disappointing..

There are 45 other pages of good information. I recommend you at least skim them before contributing.
