In regards to OPs post, I do find the torque dip to be rather harsh, but as already mentioned I have started to learn how to drive this car in two separate "modes". Below 4k for around the town, and keeping it above 4500 for all freeway on-ramps and and quick zipping around.

While the dip is very noticeable, I do not think that it is so bad that the car should have not been released / is unacceptable.
Haha, I like to slowly pass people and then equal their pace if I see them hardcore looking, and then take off after ~15 seconds.
