Overly aggressive throttle response

Overly aggressive throttle response
One of my pet peeves about my 06 XJ8 L is that the throttle response is (to my view) overly aggressive from a standing start. Very difficult to take off smoothly from a stop sign without a jackrabbit start or even tire spinning. Not noticeable once underway, at road speeds. Is this a bug or a feature?

I know exactly of the issue you describe, as my 05 XJR has it too.
the initial throttle sensitivity is very high on these cars it seems. I know that you can 'recalibrate' your throttle pedal after you remove the battery terminals. It requires putting ignition to "II" and slowly depressing the throttle all the way down and back 3 times.
Im sure an aging throttle body motor makes this issue worse too.
