Took me around for ridiculous pulls, he was demonstrating everything, when he drove it, hd drove it perfectly with no problems, he didn’t even experience any of the lag issues. He did however show me what I WAS DOING WRONG!

I cruise in M mode in 6th gear at 50 mph, he floored it, NO PULL or POWER at all, he then dropped all the way to 2nd gear at the same 50mph, and it pulled like a mad dog. I never knew about this, he also told me that I shift a lot earlier before redline too many times to the point where I’m at 5-7th gear at 40 or less, which was another thing. I was inexperienced over it, he then explained to me about the lag in flooring it in Automatic mode, when flooring in automatic, the brief moment before it pulls, the ECU is downshifting to the lowest gear then pulling, he said it’s normal for automatic mode to have a brief delay before pulling when flooring. He also stated that when in automatic mode, you can press the downshift once, then hold it again and the car will AUTOMATICALLY drop to the lowest gear, he then floored it and it pulled! I didn’t know about the gear and speed thing. After all this, there’s still one last thing... there’s a “dead zone” when slightly hitting the accelerator in automatic mode.

Man, if this isn't a troll post, kudos for the OP for admitting his mistakes and willingness to learn but honestly, if you don't understand how an engine makes power or how gear ratio's work, you have no business buying/driving this car, especially in manual mode. Please just put it in auto for now and be careful, at least until you learn to drive. You will get yourself (and others) in trouble real fast not knowing what you are doing.
