Well I just couldn't hold back any longer. I just took delivery of a 2009 Si Coupe. It's a sweet car but--- Like many of you, I would like to eliminate or minimize the rev hang. When I get off the gas it almost acts as if it had one of those huge John Deere flywheels. The RPM's do take a long time to drop.
I haven't seen any solution for the 2009s here. Anybody know of one, or do I just wait and hope?
Thank You!

I have found that I get used to it and it makes upshifts a whole lot smoother and easier. All it comes down to is relearning your gas/clutch/shifter coordination. Where I could see this being a problem is if you go back and fourth between a DBW throttle car and a cable actuated throttle since timing is different. I found this when I hopped back in my brother's '00 Accord (which used to be mine) and the throttle acted "funny" and I couldn't drive it nearly as well as I could my Si.
