What exactly is hesitation?

I have seen the term used before. Is there a real definition for hesitation or is it just your engine feeling slow and sluggish?

I'm not sure what you're referring to. Turbo lag (not on GC stock turbo)? Limp mode? No boost under Low Fuel?

Some people mention it when they're talking about the 3.8's ZF auto transmission, although I'm not exactly sure what they're referring to either.

The feeling of "wow, I just hit a flat spot of sorts, why am I not going along as I should?".

Can be a lot of things causing it.
