I miss that "throw you back in the seat" feel of the M3 already, and its only been 5 days, lol The handling and handling limits make up for that , but that is not something you can utilize in commute traffic.
THIS! Glad I am not the only one who feels underwhelmed by the acceleration. I was expecting to be awed by 455 HP once the motor was past the break-in period but the throttle mapping feels like it's leaving a lot on the table with the lazy response and soft torque delivery. Kinda crappy that the neck snapping torque delivery that one would expect from a large displacement V8 has been tuned out of the LT1, but I hope playing with the mode settings like Matty-1LE and JK001 described will restore some throttle response.
