I too have experienced this phenomenon. It is definitely a traction control problem / issue. I have found that if I gun it the wheels break into immediate wheel spin momentarily then the traction control kicks in and the motor feels as though it bogs but it is not, the TC just gives you that impression. To overcome this I just 'feed' the power on during initial acceleration and then mash the pedal to the floor and hang on, seems to work for me. If you do this when turning out of a corner from a standing start the rear end bites real hard and the car gets quite twisted up, often the front end feels as though the inside wheel gets a little air but I doubt it ( just feels that way ). There is a heap of power ( read torque ) avaliable in these vehicles and it takes time to figure out how to get the best of it. What a fantastic machine
