Funny how the whiners always fall back on how great of drivers they are and if you don't have a problem you must suck, have never driven "performance" cars before or are just making excuses for the car. Many of us have no issue with it. How is that so hard to accept? Don't have to "drive around" anything.
Funny how you maintain that you have driven all these performance cars but never run into it before when it is actually very common.

Ugh MT best but should not have to shift gears. Bad car. Bad. |
When did a fall back on how great of a driver I am. I can accept that some people aren’t bothered by it. But you can’t just write it off as a nonissue. Torque dips may be common, I’ve been lucky enough to never own one or drive one until the FRS. I was warned by some of my autox friends that I may not like the car as a DD because of this but after driving the car the pros outweigh the cons. But that doesn’t mean it’s not there and not annoying.
BTW, it isn’t just 1000RPM.
Edit: just looked at that list of cars with torque dips. I’ve driven the AP1 and AP2 and although the AP1 is boring until 6k, it doesn’t feel like a “dip”. It just feels like a B16A until 6k. I would never own an AP1 specifically for this reason. The AP2 didn’t have a perceived dip (even if you can see one on paper) when I drove it. The Twins have a very perceivable dip though.
