docwra Posted October 14, 2014 Posted October 14, 2014 (edited) Not saying that Doc doesn't though, he's one of the more knowledge guys I know! Cheers for that, I actually didnt bother as a) I know the Mercs arent laggy, my brother had one and 2) its an an automatic luxobarge, its hardly going to be developed for the sharpest response. I guessed he was probably referring to boost threshold. Amusingly, theres a Clarkson clip that perfectly demonstrates the difference between lag and threshold, its amusing as he is trying to prove the exact opposite.
