dangerous pour lag when accelerator is depressed. a solid two second delay when, for example, the accelerator pedal is depressed to enter an on ramp to a highway. it is not safe to have to predict when your power will be available.

i was attempting to pass a slow moving vehicle. i was traveling around 35mph at the time. right before i went to overtake the vehicle i had to let off the accelerator. when th passing lane was clear i gave the truck the throttle needed to pass the slow car, but it was a good 3-4 seconds after pushing the accelerator before the truck responded at all. this was not turbo lag, it was simply the truck did not respond to my input when needed. i have had this happen also when trying to merge into traffic or pull out onto a busy street. it is dangerous.
