Major Throttle and or Turbo Lag.
So i just purchased a 2016 IS200t F-SPORT, and since owning it I've driven it about a 1000 city driving. So i decide to take a drive to Las Vegas and on the way up this car wanted to go and go and go! next purchase is a RADAR detector. '
Well giving the stats of LV little above elevation 2000' and 110-115 degrees!!! my car was unresponsive. It would take almost half throttle then car would take off like a bat out of hell every time i have to leave a stop light.. Has anyone experienced this?

Wouldn't the Computer correct all this? Personally i didn't mind as I'm used to things like this. I can't imagine a grandma sitting at a light.... Green...... she steps on the gas nothing little more nothing then............. boom she's doing a 1/4 mile time!!
Whats Heat soak?

Altitude should not be a problem, since FI already operate at elevated pressure. Altitudes really hit hard on NA engines. However of course on a hot day and at high altitude, your gonna experience power loss regardless of engine type.
I would see if any data logging left any clues to see if the heat was a factor. If your back in normal alt, and heat then its gonna be hard to reproduce.

Pretty much what ^he said.
To put it in it's simplest form, if your intercooler "soaks" up too much heat(especially on a red light, hot climates), it's passed onto your turbo with less dense air, hence the power loss. Less air, less power.
