I thought I would post a note (essay?) on initial impressions of the Gen 2 NSX on the topic of Turbo lag and whether the NSX eliminates it.Context: I love EV cars. The instant and full availability of torque from low / moderate speeds make them a joy to drive around town. I have a BMW i3 that gets more miles than my >500HP cars for short trips because is is legitimately fun to drive. In an EV car, you don't need to "plan" to go fast, you just use your right foot to request a given level of torque and, boom, it's there. No delay, no drama, no head turning noises. Just fun. Although the i3 runs out of real oomph around 45 MPH, cars like the "P" Teslas deliver it all they way up to freeway speeds (but, it's important to note, not much beyond that before their acceleration also falls off).Anyway, my dream for the NSX was to have that same experience. It doesn't quite deliver, but that's OK. The EV motors simply don't have enough power to deliver satisfying thrust by themselves. They are great for low/medium power requirements but, by themselves, cannot generate grins.How does this relate to Turbo Lag? Well, since the electrics themselves can't make you smile, you need to wait for the ICE to join the party. This involves three stages (from cruising along in "D"): (i) downshift (do front wheels pull while ICE is downshifting? I'm not sure, but it's not dramatic if they do), (ii) EV-Torque fill (seems to help, but I'm not smiling yet) and (iii) Turbos spool and all power plants are online and at peak output. Cruise along on freeway in Sport (or Sport+) and mash the throttle and you can count off these steps. It is NOT instant insane torque like a Tesla. It DOES *start* accelerating strongly sooner than a conventional turbo, but weirdly that masked some of the subjective sense of power.Here's what I mean. In a conventional turbo, you mash the throttle and wait for the power. Modern turbos spool quickly, but there is still very much a delay between WOT and "holy sh*t" acceleration form turbo surge. And, because of the relatively abrupt increase in power, it subjectively feels faster overall. I think it's the G-differntial (I think called "jerk," technically) that make you smile, not just the peak-Gs themselves. And the NSX, being smoother in its power delivery, doesn't kick you in the pants as much as a conventional turbo. Likewise, it doesn't give the instant full TQ of a performance BEV like a Tesla. But wait. There's a fix. Once you are in the right gear, with the revs above 4K, the car is VERY responsive and feels more like a NA car in the power band. In that situation (at least in Sport+ and Track), there is no sense of delay while power builds. The power is on tap all the time and from all sources. Advice: paddle shift if you are in "fun" mode on the street (keeping revs above 4K), and use Track mode on the Track (you can stay in "D" on the track while you get used to the car, it will keep you in the right gear all the time).So, in summary, I still dream of a performance hybrid car that can silently squirt around town like my i3 and go from cruising lazily at 60MPH to full power instantly like a Tesla. The NSX is not that. But, the electrics go a long way toward smoothing out power delivery and providing a much better overall driving experience on road and on track.
