One of the main "problem" for our car is that it is too smart and will adapt to the way you drive. So if you have been driving normal and slowly for a while, the car will shift and drive less aggressively. I used to do burst of WOT before I go all out so I can "wake" the car up to reduce the lag. Also, a lot of people like to do the "sneaky reset" to erase the adaptive learning. Finally while you are in S mode (or M) you can down-shift to the lowest gear and start that way, it should reduce the lag. If there is stilll a lag or a lack of power then you may need to address that separately.
Another thing that can help is the Sprintbooster. This will eliminate the mild lag that you feel in the day to day driving. But I also experience that it doesn't quite downshift to the lowest gear at the first WOT run if I have been driving really slowly.

No I know what you mean it's not that its deferent, it's like the car is sick. lag takes too long as if it is waiting for something) maybe there's something wrong with the fuel pump, I should just have it checked out, but thanks for the reply!
