I believe the powerband as delivered, complete with dip in power, was intentional.
For starters, the powerband is going to have a dip somewhere, unavoidable.
I believe the development engineers looked at how drivers would use the car while driving normally in the city and the highway, adhering to city limits and highway limits.
I noticed while doing so, you’re able to stay just before the dip in the powerband. This keeps the engine feeling pretty good while tooling around.
And if you want to get aggressive driving, it doesn’t take much to rev past the dip to play in the top half of the powerband.
I think this was intentional, and I’m thinking great design. It would absolutely suck if, just driving around normally at posted speed limits, you were smack in the middle of the dead spots,
Coming from motorcycles, I’m used to paying attention to where I,m using the motor all the time. Before getting the car, I was worried about that dip in the powerband. But first drive in and since, I’m completely ok with it and even happy it’s where it is.
