I dunno, I'm with @ krayzie. I've got a stock 2011 GTI and I can definitely feel the acceleration taper off above 5000 RPM. It's especially apparent going uphill. You can see it in the stock dyno chart as well. The torque curve drops over 40 lbs-ft starting at 5000 RPM.

Oh crap! I would not enjoy that at all! Where we start to "dip" that just flat gives up and never comes back.
