Not turbo lag, not talking about flooring it and expecting a kick in the butt thrill...

I'm talking about pulling out into traffic from a stop and the car dying for half a second before accelerating away. I know 2 other friends with an i8 who have experienced this also.
I have had this happen every time but when slowed and turning into the street with a dip at the edge of the road. Weird feeling to lose power for a sec or two. Have not brought this to the attention of my dealer.
