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.

Porsches have a dip, but they also to have like more than twice as much power and the dip doesn't last as long so I don't think anyone notices.
S2000's dip occurs right before VTEC kicks in so its not noticeable either, plus the car has no torque to begin with so its already accelerating modestly.
