Use the search function, there's plenty of feedback already on the forum - you just have to read it. :wink:

If you aren't planning on getting a tune, it definitely helps to give the throttle response a much livelier feel.

It's not about moving your foot. It's about the one second delay when you plant your foot to the ground, and the throttle positioning moving to adjust.

There is with the auto. Gear kickdown was notoriously slow - this was corrected with a higher 'requested torque' value but on a stock tune, you can definitely feel the delay.

Kickdown is another matter entirely (and arguably just punishment for not buying a proper car).

There is no delay of the throttle.

There's throttle lag for sure, it's the one thing I truly dislike about the auto GT.
