Default So far no S7 owner has posted a dreaded acceleration delay or lag thread. Why?

On the S6 forum there are a couple of threads about the lag or feel of almost stalling when accelerating from a stop or very low speed.

Does this phenomenon exist on the S7 since it's basically the same car as the S6?

I only have 1,000 miles on the clock. S7 with a late October 2013 build date.
I have not experienced any delay turning as discussed. I have not been able to duplicate comments.

Dr. Chill, did you ever proceed with the resonator delete?

I addressed the concern to my Audi Tech Specialist during my 15K checkup. He asked what kind of gas I used and I told him Kroger Store gas. He said that would do it. He gas me the list of the top tier gas stations I should use. They also are suppose to lessen carbon build up. Google top tier gas stations and if you haven't been using one of them MAYBE that is it. YMMV.

I definitely agree with you. There were no faults associated with the problem so ....... The mystery continues.
