True. The dip is rediculous, especially when simply installing an UEL manifold eliminates it. There's no way Subaru couldn't figure that out. That the powers that be saw that graph and went, "ready to go" is criminal.
That the car doesn't have a ton of power make it MORE exciting to me. You have to do everything perfect to get the best from the car and IMO that is what "driver's car" is about. If the car is doing it for you and making up for your sloppiness you are almost just a passenger.
