Question 2012 S4 Prestige S-tronic issues

Im not even sure these are issues, but I am about 400 miles in on brand new Prestige S4.. loaded up. I get that the S-Tronic takes some getting used to, with the slight delay at roll off... HOWEVER... this S-Tronic seems to have some "other delays" that I cannot imagine being normal.

The issue is; If I am rolling around 40mph or even 60mph and go WOT (foot to the floor) the motor revs way up before the transmission actually kicks in... In other words, it seems like the S-Tronic is confused as to what I was doing and then finally says... oh.. yeah.. GAS! Is anyone else experiencing this kind of delay?? I mostly drive in AUTO or DYNAMIC.

On another note, the delay is much less prominent in Manual mode using paddle shifters, but its still rather clunky. (speaking of clunky, try driving in bumper to bumper traffic with these things.. really awkward)

Car is going to the Dealer this week for STasis Tune.. but nervous about that if the trans is NOT RIGHT... per se. AWE exhaust and intake already ordered.

Any feedback is greatly appreciated.
