I heard a GT3 owner mutter that it was a 911-looking lounge.

gasongasoff has a reputation beyond repute

Does this happen only when you're stopped on an incline? That should tell you if it's related to hill-assist or not.

idle is increased to 900, overcomes the initial 'hole' and the slight vibrations
You have to have the ecu programed to be able to get this increase

Damn these sports cars with their characteristic on-cam idle vibration. Let's go for full saloon refinement.

I have the same full half second (seems like more) delay on a WOT standing start, even in sport mode!

It is even worse on very hot days!

I never considered the hill assist issue, next time I will try it from a rolling start to see it makes a difference.

I took it to my dealer last summer for this issue and they said there were no problems that they could find (could not duplicate - and I am sure they had fun trying!!)
