In D, the car shifts into 7th at 42-43, so maybe if you were cruising then an arse popped out and you needed to gun it around them, that's my scenario

Also, weren't you and I just talking about this on another thread?

SOLUTION: Stuck behind someone, tap the left paddle and it'll automatically go into 5th or 6th depending on your speed. Then you get no lag and you can easily fly around someone and slingshot. Shake & Bake.

Lol, maybe?

Anyways, honestly, I factor lag or downshifting INTO how I'm going to weave in and out of traffic. Worse comes to worse, if you can't get by... Left pedal to slow down

No it's kind of dumb. It's easy to see they car is simply downshifting. I drove my friends Z because he said there was "throttle lag." Nope, he just drives in auto and the car shifts down 3 or so gears when you mash the pedal at around 45mph.

It doesn't do that.

Yeah... I guess maybe it's the transmission gear hunting depending on how much you mash it. But a full peddle press feels like 1...2....3 take off. That's why I have been trying to get used to the m mode. And it's kinda weird I guess but I kinda prefer the shifter nob over the paddles. I typically drive with one hand on the wheel in a relaxed state, not both hands on the wheel flicking paddles. And yeah.. Lag is lag it's a delay.

CSGLEON · 07-16-2013, 09:55 PM

And yeah I mean I own the car now and like it.. Don't want to get rid of it or anything just thought that it would be nicer if it was very touchy/responsive on throttle. Maybe like someone else stated I should get a tune because it does kinda bug me.

If you dont want the lag just tap the pedal really fast. Ive noticed this works, or let it rev up to the grand you are looking for and then try and smash it. If you do it right you might be able to get rid of the lag. If not, oh well atleast you tried. And yeah it is an uncanny approach

I have a MT and the throttle lag was noticeable as well. I used Dynotronics in New Braunfels for my EcuTek tune, and the new throttle tables give a much better response. They're a forum sponsor on here. PM Joe and check out his threads in the tuning section of the forum

The car and throttle are super responsive. You're doing it wrong lol

CSGLEON · 07-16-2013, 11:42 PM

Thanks jarblue! Will do. I'm dating a couple girls down that way near Texas state so that's not a big detour.

Really? Hm. I'll have to test that out. I've pushed it over to M at that speed and I could swear it goes to 5th, suggesting it was no higher than 6th in D, but I'll take your word on it.

It always downshifts to 5th when you switch it over. But the car will engage 7th at 42-43 if you're on a flat piece of land or just not stressing the car

Ohhhhhhhhhh, one was when my car popped when I was doing 85MPH, and it slowed to 60, and I THINK what you/he means is when I was going home doing like 90 and this cop guns it, I slow down, then he rides my àss, and randomly exits, lol

No Lexus involved though, unless it's another incident
