could the tires be 'mis-matched' ......... ??? ...... same sized tires, but the size is actually different ....... enough that is is driving the TOD computer crazy ............
.
maybe a sensor needs to be replaced or cleaned .... has some magnetic particles stuck to it .............
.
......... could it be that when you 'punch' it, the TOD computer reads this and instantly sends the signal to send (more) power to the front wheels ........
.
I don't know - I never 'punched' my VX from a dead stop .........

(hmmm, that's funny ........ I must be getting old ...... anyway, I get visions of the engine torqueing (rocking) on the motor mounts when I 'punch' it ....... and I don't believe there are flexible joints in/betwee/whatever the exhaust manifolds, so I will probably refrain from this .... I'm not up for replacing or repairing exhaust system components) ..........
