Default That Pause/Hesitation When Accelerating

is this normal? i've noticed when i go to pass people (which has become one of my favorite pastimes as of late..., and i give it some gas the engine will rev up, but then for about a second sort of "Pause or Hesitate" before kicking in.

is this normal? you 350Zers know what i mean, right?

Mike

sounds like AT for me... if so - I think is normal - I noticed that in most AT cars I drove - when you kick it hard the gearbox is going to 'sports' mode and reving up first. Perfectly normal ..

If it's automatic... Yes it's normal. Is this your first car or something?
