370Z low rev lag

Not that I know of . The car was in awesome shape and was not driven too much. It sometimes lurches and loses power for a second or so at low RPM. I told the dealer twice to check this and the answer was the same. "It's the way it is " ???

Just make sure the traction control isn't getting activated, especially on corners as it will feel like this. You should see the slip light flash in the center of the tachometer.

I can't say I've had much experience with my 370 yet, as it's still on order, but I test drove one not too long after an 06 350. This kinda sounds like me when I got in the 370 the first time. I found that I had to be really careful with the clutch, otherwise it would kind of lurch on me as I released it. I'm not gonna lie, I'm not used to driving standard sports cars, or even automatic ones for that matter (used to bagging the **** out of the trucks at work). Anyhow, long story short, I felt like it was how I was using the clutch that created that lurching you're speaking of.
