Engine hesitation

hey fellas,

when i floor it while going about 20mph, i notice there is a slight hesitation before it kicks in. is this normal? if not, what should i tell the dealer? the last time i brought the car in and complain about this, they say it felt normal.

Hmm did by any chance you notice a yellow triangle lighting up on your screen?
Did it kick down?

Watch your rpm's, you're probably right in the area (2k to 2.2k) where the s/c clutch kicks in and you get a split second delay. At least mine does.

These are not electric cars, a nano second hesistation before the s/c snaps your neck is normal. If I were you, take another 55 for a test drive and compare the two.

Just for fun see if you can test drive a bi turbo-they have 2 short delays, before the turbos kick in and another delay before they shut down-awesome.
