You can use the "linear throttle" (LT) throttle response map if you don't like that behavior

OP I think this is pretty reasonable if you are driving below the "boost threshold" (minimum engine RPM needed to build boost), such as when the engine is around idle.

Another thing to consider is that there is a momentary delay from when you press the throttle to when the DCT clutch engages when the car is stopped.

Glad you are ok, and agreed it takes a bit of getting used to, but I think there are legitimate technical reasons why the car behaves the way it does and it isn't a flaw.

As an aside, I think this is delay between throttle and clutch engagement and lack of "creep" forward are the reasons why dual clutch gear boxes are having a very hard time replacing torque converter automatics for mainstream cars like Dodge Dart or Ford Focus
