I know on my wifes Last Mini Cooper, the Pedal/Throttle was god awful. Basically slight tap, or full punch it bogged for like a second before it kicked in. It was horrible and I HATED driving it.
This one isn't like that. In a couple poor amateur YouTube reviews, I thought that might be the case. For the turbo Camaro there is the turbo lag, but for the V6 Camaro the torque curve is very smooth. For best response I always go tiptronic, but automatic on this thing shifts well.
What I didn't realize is how the pedal works:
The first quarter of an inch of pressing the pedal does almost nothing. This has nothing to do with the engine, just the value the pedal press communicates to the engine.
The first 25% (approx) after that first little bit is awkward. Your RPM's and the automatic gear selection don't move much, it's very little, and the response isn't totally linear either). This makes staying the right speed on the highway something to get used to, or accelerating faster but not too fast a bit of something to get used to. On my mom's Acura, the pedal controls the car linearly, which feels better.
Now that I've gotten to know the car, I feel like the car responds very well. The lag was just because I wasn't sure how far the pedal should be, because it wasn't intuitive and linear.
Wish they wouldn't do that though. No one buys a Camaro to have forced fuel efficiency built into the pedal. It's a way of helping bad drivers accelerate more smoothly... and I just want linear response, the first inch of the pedal should affect the car as much as the last inch does.
