However, maybe it is different if you are sitting in the car when it happens. You didn't say anything about shudder, shake or stalling, so I don't know what the problem is. The guys with stalling, engines dying and cel codes — they got problems.

Please, tell me what I am not seeing.
I think what has people concerned is that this idle dip may lead to worse things. Mine ('13 FRS MT) does the same thing as the OP's. Idles around 800, occasionally drops to 400-500 (usually with a very slight shudder) and pops back up to 800. That doesn't bother me. What will bother me is if it gets any worse...it won't be a crisis until it starts stalling or throwing a CEL...
