Guys, I think the rev hang issue was resolved part way through the 2006 model year. What you're experiencing is probably just a flaw in the DBW system. I know two guys that have Pontiac GTOs, which are DBW, and have the exact same thing happening to them that occurs with my Si (purchased June 2006 none the less).

The technology just hasn't been perfected yet...it's not as responsive as a throttle body cable. You'll get used to it. Hell, I was annoyed by this issue at first and complained to Honda, but after having my car for a year and a half now, I actually kind of like how it behaves now. Just my .02, take it how you will.
