Great post Mike! I can't wait to get my car out there...

Btw, I posted about this lag months ago here, from when I was doing instructor runs in student's 335's. I was able to overcome it (for the most part), by early throttle application. The problem is I like to finesse the throttle thru slaloms, and that was nearly impossible to do with the delay. Sweepers, offsets, and clamshells were not a problem.
