Dynamic throttle map?

Kind of a hard one to search around for an answer hence I am posting. Possibly a question targeted to manual drivers only.

Does our drive by wire throttle mapping change with the conditions that the car is in? For example, I have noticed when stationary when I blip the throttle and the car rev's up really quickly as you would expect. However, when I am rolling with the clutch disengaged for example (at any speed above 5km/h) its feels really laggy.

It doesn't actually affect anything in terms of driving the thing, just love to rev the engine for the exhaust sound far too often :P

I don't know though I've read that there is a possibility to reset the throttle just like with automatic transmissions. I haven't tried it, so I might be wrong.

Mine feels laggy when stationary. It's horrible.

It's a safety feature. Try blipping the throttle in reverse, it does the same thing. It's to keep you from damaging drivetrain components.

Which I cant quantitatively confirm this but the throttle adaptation reset does seem to work for manual transmissions as well.

Yeah stationary mine is quite sensitive but rolling forward or back it feels really laggy.

Anyone know the actual procedure for a manual? I only managed to find the automatic / DCT procedure.

What works for me is turn on ignition, hold throttle to floor for 30 seconds, turn off car.

So not touching clutch, press start button, then press accelerator to the floor for 30 seconds, then press start button again?
