My conspiracy theory is that this car is meant to be driven in "high rev", and by coming out of the "torque dip" around 4k rpm, it pulls harder, thus feeling like a V kicking in.

I have the BRZedit tune on my car, so it pulls even harder from 4K, and I purposely hang around 3.5k RPM, then slowly punch it out to 4k RPM to get that extra "jolt" for fun.
