what dangerous occurence?

Brake-Throttle-Lag as the reason for parting with a wonderful vehicle? There are so many ways to minimize this. Thinking ahead is one of them, recoding the tranny, the software, getting a TIP-Chip, all help to reduce it. But bieng a thoughtfull and prepared driver is the best way.

I have a GIAC tip-chip that has helped immensely. That, and slightly modifying my driving has

reduced it to a non-issue for me.

Hmm... my lag issues are cut about 90% when in sport mode

Then again, I only use the brakes if there is an imminent collision potential, otherwise I am doing my part to save fuel for national security by ignoring those pesky red signs.
