It's actually not stumbling, missing or anything like that. I think my concern is with the rev-up speed at low RPMs. 3k+ it's hellcat beeotch fast, making bleeping easyy. But from 800-2500, I try to bleep the gas and it's more of a salsa bowl dip (slow and methodical). I think the difficulty in bleeping at lower RPMs is what makes me think perhaps something is out of tune.
Are you possibly referring to "blipping the throttle" when heel & toe downshifting?
My '99 has mechanical throttle (iirc) and my blips are bleeping awesome.

You must understand, a 996 is NOT a real Porsche and therefore it revs painstakingly slow. Yes a Camry is faster, in fact I got my "bleeping" a$$ kicked by a Camry yesterday. I was so embarrassed...
If you want a REAL, i.e. fast reving, Porsche, buy a 993,997,964, 993TT, 996TT, 997TT, 997GT3, 997GT3RS, etc. LOL
Anyone here willing to trade me their Camry for my 996? I'll even thow some cash into the deal if necessary.
