No. It's in the ECU. That means it can be fixed to give you immediate throttle response. The solution means tuning.

The factory tune can use work anyways on stock exhaust and intake to simply run better. I'm in the process of having that done to my BRZ right now and it's resulting in noticable (if subtle) improvements in driveability, shift smoothness, top end torque and other niceties, in addition to a noticeable (and not so subtle) improvement in fuel economy.

Also, if you get better tires, that could help too, as you will simply have better grip to grab the road better when you apply power to the wheels.
