By gadfry, you guys are right. Mine does it, too.
On mine it's more like maybe 2700 rpm, but the hesitation is there.
I would say it is most noticeable when the engine and trans are cold. When fully warm it pretty much disappears. It is as though the computer can't quite decide whether to upshift out of 2nd or not. The tach just hangs at 2700 for a split second, then goes on up.
The first couple of times I tried it with a cold engine today, it actually dropped about 100 rpm, then buzzed on up.
I don't have any reason to doubt the vario-cam theory, but I would think if that were the cause, it would be reproduceable in other gears and in manual mode, whenever the vario-cam was doing it's business. As has been said, this does not appear to be the case.
Weird. But if that's the worst thing it ever does, I guess I can handle it.
