Default Slight hesitation on throttle

Hey gang!
As I'm enjoying my first few months in the spyder I'm also trying to not be neurotic and worry about everything little thing. But I feel like I'm getting a slight hesitation on throttle 3rd to 4th gear at low rpm's 2800-3200. Has anyone else experienced this? car has 13500 miles.

*I tried to do a search for this, but as we all know the search engine here isn't... perfect lol.

Thanks in advance!

Hmm... I have not noticed. My question would be "how long are you spending in the lower rev ranges?". I would suggest you drive it aggressively, quickly taking the reves to 6-7000 before shifting, and feel the power surge that kicks in around 4200 RPMs. It's AWESOME!

In other words, PUNCH IT!

Just a thought.

No hesitation here either. What’s the mileage and what services has it had done? By now to major services should have been completed which include plugs etc.

Also good fuel matters as does changing out the fuel filter.

As Zeus mentions, driving I them at high RPM actually helps too. These are DI engines and need to see higher RPM’s to clear out the carbon on the intake. The engines come alive after some hard driving.

Appreciate the responses. It's weird that its just on one gear and a certain RPM, but I do think the car could use a set of plugs and a fuel filter change. I'll do that and report back.

Thank you both!
