FYI, loaners nationwide are N26 I believe. This is only anecdotal, but the VIN decoders I've run on loaners (simple curiosity) have stated to be N26's. I say nationwide because I live in Michigan and believe you me we are the complete, 100% opposite of a strict emissions state. We have zero testing or checks.

As for lag, they all have lag. If you are at a light in an N26 8AT in sport and manual mode (just to eliminate as much "slack" from the response as possible) and go straight to WOT, the car will slowly pick up to ~2K then really take off.

There may be some minor difference in calibration that gives the facade of a less present lag effect, but if you hold all variables from a dead stop to WOT at the same light, etc., etc., they're extremely close.
