But if the 2.4's torque dip drops by the same percent, it may still have the same relative dullness at the dip, given a fixed throttle position. Let's hope Subaru put that extra displacement to better work smoothing the torque at curve.
This reminds me... when I started using the app and can see the throttle response, my '13 BRZ has this vague initial throttle response, the 0-20/30%. But after that, it's spot on. Also, once the car pass 4K+ RPM, the response becomes fast/accurate.

Part of its 'econo-box' nature?
