Its normal....get the 6spd if you want instant throttle response.

If you haven't already, turn the traction control off (located under the dash on the left side). The traction control will keep you from spinning the tires on full throttle acceleration. This will make the car feel sluggish, almost like hitting a rev limiter.

You guys driving in D? It's probably the car taking a second to downshift.

tip tronic and knock it down to the gear first, it takes off with minimal throttle input and will put a smile on your face!

Mine like, lags then it puts on full power. like it accelerates, just slowly. Then it just adds on the power.

Well below 3k rpm, this car just doesn't go anywhere lol. It's like at 4k+ it comes alive and roars!

You can see the lag if you have a data logger. My G35x leaves the line strongly and then at about 12 to 16 mph it bogs down. There is no need for that. In fact, if I understand the explanation of how the AWD works, it should be de-coupling the front wheels about then and accelerate FASTER because of less friction loss.
