Quite the opposite, the laggy cars normally get better 0-60, 1/4 mile numbers than what they're capable of in the real world, because in the testing, the 4wd grips off the line and the launch control mask the turbo lag well.

I was aiming more for that degree of lag is a matter of opinion, of those who have driven/reviewed the S58 some say there is no lag, some say a small amount, some say significant. Which is mostly a factor of expectations and prior experience. perception of lag is also relative to the rush of power when the boost gets on. Torque does not go from 0 to 400lbft as the car moves from 2900 rpm to 3000 rpm. its a question of does the motors ability to deliver torque when off boost and prior to boost fail/meet/exceed expectations vs the ability to deliver power on the high end. All interpreted through the individuals driving style and desires.
