I've noticed that my 2020 GT 6M drops RPM slightly when I pull away from a standing stop if I don't give it just the right amount of throttle. If I really feather the gas or launch aggressively, there's no rev drop - just when I pull away during normal around-town driving. It's always the same amount of drop, like the beginning of an engine stall. I think this is something buried in the ECU software.

FYI, I always turn the traction control off when I start the car.

So, is this a software thing, or do I need to change my driving style?
