Let me inside your house for a bit, and i'll place a few hindering obstacles in your hallway. There is zero reason in this world why the obstacles need to affect your walk to the bedroom, they only slow you down for 0.2 seconds. The hallway is clear before and after, so just don't walk into the obstacles.
There is no torque dip between 2,000 and 3,500 RPM so what is the problem? I still do not understand how something that is barely even there is ruining the driving experience. It should not even take a conscious effort to avoid driving in that range.
Place those obstacles at set positions in my hallway and since I will know they are there I will walk around them with zero loss of time. After I have done it a few times I will not even notice them anymore so they would be a non issue.
