It's funny, but MR posted about this after his test drive at Ascari, and then it's been confirmed by a number of folks, like Carl. I don't know if it subliminally seeped into my brain too, but it's something I definitely noticed as well. Even in Sport+ mode, it does seem very lackadaisical until you hit 3000 RPM and then it just really, really starts to pull like crazy.
Maybe they changed the mapping to prevent idiots like me from doing stuff like this?
