It's throttle-by-wire, right? That was the reverse problem with my WRX... the last 30% of the pedal was dead (100% input was tuned at 70% actual pedal distance).
My LS 460 has a switch for power mode, normal mode, and snow mode, where power is instant throttle response (quick off the line), normal is... grandpa mode, and snow definitely reduces any chance for breaking traction. I also noticed snow mode keeps the RPM's lower, even adds a little engine braking instead of coasting with no throttle input.
But going back to the MT topic... I think being able to shift the gears defeats the purpose of a snow-mode. Just shift to a taller gear sooner to reduce the chance of breaking traction.
