It didn't occur to me it was user learned behavior, probably from all the people who don't go bat-shit crazy with their loaners . Anyway, I just remembered this "trick" today, and tried it before using the car. Wow, did everything change! There is still a good .5-1 second lag compared to my Z, but the improvement is significant... so was my new gas consumption. Will definitely do this once I get my car back. Been grannying the car cause of the winter weather when I got it.
Which method did you use to do the reset?
