Playing with a Ferrari Maranello and ran into my first DBW throttle problem
I was going south on Woodward Ave this afternoon and pulled up next to Ferrari Maranello. No, I don't honestly believe that my S4 is faster than that car, but I thought I'd see what would happen. I'm not sure how hard the other driver was pushing the Ferrari, but we stayed about even in 1st (I used the launch technique described by Avram). But, after shifting into second and getting back on the gas, it took at least a full second for the power to return. Very frustrating.
Has anyone experienced this throttle problem? Would a throttle reset help?
TIA

Well, in serious acceleration cases, the ESP has been known to cut in on the 1st to 2nd...
shift change, if you do it quick enough to chirp the tires. Basically, it would cut the throttle for about a second or two, and then regain throttle.
