• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

2018 F3 Limited - Throttle / Launch question

I have a new 2018 F3 Limited SE6 with about 700 Miles on it.
I have noticed when first starting the vehicle and shifting into first gear for the first time that there is a lag in actually moving the vehicle forward.
I will hear it change into gear immediately. However when winding the throttle up, there is no immediate forward motion.

On other vehicles I would have described this as the transmission slipping.
Is this normal? Do others experience this ?

I only experience on initial vehicle start up in 1st gear. Often experience after reversing down the driveway and then shifting into first, but also experience from cold start initial launch forward in 1st.
 
It won't do that, so much, if you let it warm up for a minute or two before taking off.

Perfectly normal for the hydraulically operated automatic clutch they have.
And not just that model.
