It is more than apparent that you are technically connected to the car you drive. You observe things which it does, the way it responds, and the ways in which it disappoints you.
If you drove something which does not have these problems, you'd certainly enjoy your drive, and the car wouldn't wreck your nerves by giving you constant torture.
My advice: get rid of the car and buy something that delights you and excites you. Or even if it doesn't do anything to please you, at least it doesn't give you tension.
Upgrades such as UNICHIP are an add on, maybe to extract more juice from a reasonably tuned engine, but what sort of a car is that which comes loaded with response problems straight from the factory? So that unless you spend a fortune on its engine management, it is not worth driving to begin with?
Late throttle response, shift lags, torque problems etc really get at you if you are sensitive to them, and you are very rightly sensitive to them because after all the DBW, i VTEC Prosmatec and what not, you expect the car to behave better than older cars... which sadly is not true.
An 86 corolla used to be a pleasure to drive. And it still is.
Get a japanese car, any imported Axio, Premio Prius and you'll never think again about what the ECU is doing under the hood. All you'll get is instant response, the moment you touch the throttle. I think that's what matters most!
