So I figured just after I turned into my driveway I'd stab the throttle to at least give them a little scratch. I stabbed the throttle to the floor and released it immediately and it did exactly what I wanted: tires screeched and it lunged forward BUT: it continued to accelerate for about a half second after my foot was completely off the accelerator which also resulted in a longer screech than I was expecting.
Try it in LOW...although if your traction control is active, it will disengage regen and only allow friction braking for the ABS system to activate.
So if you usually drive it in LOW, but the screeching tires activated the traction control cutting off regen, it might have given you the impression that the car continued to lurch when it was really that you expected regen and it didn't happen. Letting off the go pedal in "D" also has a bit of regen, but I'm not sure if the same lack of regen in D would give the same impression.
I'm not sure if turning T/C on or off makes any difference. Also, what year is your Volt?
