Don't have any hesitation on stick. TC/AH kicks in after a bit of squirely dance.

Plus the programmer can manipulate throttle inputs such as throttle position.
On the Pontiac Grand Prix and I am sure other models that share the platform, the throttle position gain is increased during the first 1/2 of pedal travel, ie 1/3 throttle is actually 2/3's throttle blade movement to increase the feeling of acceleration..

I have found you can mitigate the delay somewhat on an A6 by putting the car into Competitive Driving Mode. You will still have about half a second of delay though.

I have had my Vet (C6) for just over 2 weeks now and was trying not to step on the gas too hard from a dead stop but as you can image I broke down. I have notice a slight hesitation when punching the gas pedal. It seems to lag for a second or two then go like a bat of you know what. Is this normal for an automatic?

The hesitation will be reduced if you push the traction control button once and hold it down for five seconds. You have active handling but nothing else.
Torque management on the automatics can be "tuned" out on shifts but not launch. The trick is to roll on to the throttle. If the VCM feels one of the rear tires spin.... TM kicks in and you get a slight hesitation.
Disabling the traction control and TM on upshifts will improve the feel. There are also an issue with the drive by wire throttle not opening fully or at the same rate we press the pedal on the later C6s. This can be resolved with the new beta version of HP Tuners.
Unfortunately, you have to tune in order to make these changes thus voiding the warranty. Sorry guys there is no happy medium here
Look at the bright side, on my wife's 03 Infinti G35 coupe the traction control is so invasive she always rather stop rather than hit the throttle
