Angry Tranny or Fuel related?

I have noticed recently, that when I'm rolling and have to mash on the gas, because of oncoming traffic, the car hesitates before it kicks in and goes. On more than one occasion it's put me in a precarious position, when jumping out in traffic. Has anybody else had this happen. At first I thought it may be tranny and had Acura check it out, of course they said it's in spec. If this gets worse it may get dangerous. Reminds of the old first generation 4 banger turbos, you know the ones that had to spool up to give you the power.

thats why there's sportshift
just drop it two notches for some in your face haulage. but seriously, even with the sportshift, you'll have to get used to knowing exactly how long it takes to do that before you go play extreme in traffic

if you're in SS and know how to shift it(takes about 5 minutes to learn it well and know the right gear to be in) there will be no hesitation when accelerating
