It would depend on whether the oil pump is mechanical or electrical. If it’s mechanical, then there’s definitely no oil pressure when the engine is off. If it’s electrical then it would be dependent on programming. I haven’t studied the newer engines so I couldn’t say.

the actual mechanism itself is super smooth... it's like prius levels of seamlessness with how the engine fires up, i'm just talking about the delay from when you take your foot off the brake
a simple (or maybe not so simple lol) software optimization would be enough to make things right

One thing that is annoying, is when its off if you are on an incline and you take your foot off it will roll back a little when the engine is off...kind of like a manual.

That's why I'm glad I got one of the earlier G30's. I can turn it off permanently.
Same.
His ratio of foreign cars to domestic doesn't fit the Cleetus profile lol. Ole Cleet just has GM and Ford stuff everywhere. IDK if he even still has that 911 Turbo S around since it was his wife's car and she got a Tahoe after having kids.
Same.

also if the car just waited to cut the engine until you actually stopped vs cutting the engine at 5 mph or so it would alleviate basically all i'm complaining about lol

Humorously enough, my manual doesn’t do this. If you’re on more than the very slightest incline, it auto-holds for about 2 seconds. If it’s basically flat but there’s the slightest slope (think 0.5 degrees) it will roll slowly.

I actually leave mine on. It's so smooth I don't almost don't notice it shutting off but for the tachometer dropping to 0.

It’s configurable in the M1/M2 modes. Now I can’t see someone configuring one of those for Sport+ everything, TC off and *** enabled, but you could technically do that if you were so inclined.

Not everyone wants batteries or hybrid assist powering their cars, be it mild or major. Why can't you get that? Just because you disagree strongly and have reasoning doesn't mean we're wrong. My friend and I both hate the (now dead) EV push, while you can't stop beaming about them. We fundamentally disagree on politics we can't get into.
People can have different tastes and opinions.
It's obnoxious to hit a button right below the start button? I mean, I hate it too but it's not that big of a deal. I have to reach to the left to turn the GMC's off. It's just like hitting a memory seat button or whatever, but if it bothers you, yeah get rid of it.

EDIT: according to my parts lookup the M176 has a mechanical pump so engine off means zero oil psi.

What part of this don't you get??? Maybe he doesn't like nor want electric motors or hybrid assist either and was fine with pure ICE and 4.2 seconds to 60 from a V8 and a V8 only.

If he didn’t want the system he shouldn’t have bought the car. He doesn’t actually care, you care.
Cars for me aren’t political.
