That's not necessarily a bad thing. It's just a different style of driving. The thing really moves when you hit those upper rpm. I swear this car rewards abuse.

That drives me crazy to no end (having to shift as 6000 in first gear to avoid the torque dip). The only way to avoid the torque dip effects are to shift really low and just cruise around or shift really high and really zip along. No inbetween.
