You will find that the car also continues to wake up well beyond the 1000 mile mark. I am at almost 6300 miles and I am still finding it keeps surprising me. As for being sluggish under 3k rpm's it will never really go away completely. I am comparing that to 6L v8's and newer diesel engines though. My impreza has to be kept up above 3500 rpms to be useful, loves 4500+(that tachs out at 6200 or so).

Once you feel comfortable a 1500 rpm launch is quite rewarding.
