This is my first 5th Gen, so is it normal for it to be a little sluggish at lower rpms? Tend to have more high-end power compared to my 4th Gen that ran better at the lower rpms.

I'm asking because the car pauses a little (1-1.5 sec) when I step on the gas if I am going at a low speed. This doesn't happen if I am doing over 30-35 mph.

 

that pause is caused by th throttle by wire that 2k2 have... a few people on here have the same problem.. don't think there is anyway to correct it...
