thstone, I couldn't agree with you more. At first, I was like wait a minute, did I just hear a speaker pumping in sound. I could pick up where the sound was actually coming from and it was clearly not from the engine.

The lag really surprised me in how noticeable it was. Turn the AC on and add a really hot day to it and it will likely get worse. I have a 2016 VW Jetta with the 1.4l TSI motor that I use for commuting and it does the same thing and is really bad with the AC on. I'm willing to tolerate this in a car that I paid $15k for and averages 40 mpg but no way on a $70k sports car.
