It will be easy to avoid it. You will be above or below it most of the time. In normal driving you would shift around 3000RPMS so you wouldn't reach the dip, and when you're trying to accelerate you would be shifting close to redline so you will stay above the dip.



I like this comment on the Insideline article:
