Perfect Launches Bog Down Due To Rev Limiter Banging

Product: Need for Speed: Unbound
Platform:PlayStation 5
Summarize your bug When executing a perfect launch in a race some cars will bog down noticeably while the tachometer is bouncing off the rev limiter
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? 1. Get a fast car with more than 1 gear (e.g. S+ Ferrari FXX-K Evo) 2. Enter a race and execute a perfect launch 3. Observe the tachometer and car's behaviour
What happens when the bug occurs? The car bogs down mid launch while the tachometer bounces off the rev limiter (a few times)
What do you expect to see? The car gets through the gears quickly

See the video for demonstration. I found that some cars have this issue more pronounced than others.

With Ferrari FXX-K Evo this issue is particularly noticeable: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5XQrrSu8Ibo

    I noticed this issue is even worse for the Porsche 918. Despite being AWD, its perfect launches are pretty poor.

    Here is a video demonstration: me being against 2 Aventador SVJ coupes. One executing the perfect launch and the second just starts at full throttle. My 918 was barely keeping up with the Aventador starting at full throttle. Observe how the tachometer needle is bounding all over the place during the launch.
