I believe it is mainly the D5, T8, T6 - the toutquier engines. The torque converter slows it down beyond certain point. To mitigate you need to figure out the max accelerator input you can give it without putting it into a torque control mode which will result in a lag. The trouble is it’s different at different speeds, but ultimately it will be lower input that will result in no lag and then you can build up torque progressively.
I agree it’s dangerous - beyond certain level the higher accelerator input will actually result in lower power delivery to the wheels and then it just takes off - it’s wrong. This should be easily software managed to give progressive result even if it’s a little slower but no lag. I believe d4 people with less torque suffer less and T5 is practically lag free in my experience.
