I was out having a bit of fun with the boys, giving the car a bit of a Rev. After doing so we pulled up and got out to have a chat so I left the car idling for about 5 mins, when we had finished I got back into the car and went to slowly take off when the car wouldn't Rev and stalled. I started the engine again and went to slowly take off and it happened again, wouldn't Rev and stalled. So I turned the car completly off pulled the key out waited a minute then started it again and it worked fine.

When I say it wouldn't Rev I mean it would take 2-3 sec for the car to slowly get from 900rpm to 2000rpm.

Has anybody had a similar experience and should I be concerned? It's booked in for it's first 3000km service this week so I will bring it up with the dealer then, and let you know what they say.

What if it is something to do with the anti abuse mode? There goes your warranty.

In the car manual there's something in there about reduced performance mode. Might be something in there for you.

the dealers cant do anything about you flogging the car. they can only void warrenty if you do burnouts or racing.
just take it to the dealer and they will fix it
