Anyway I'll run this by the dealer, and then when they act stupid I'll bring the printout of the service notice to them and see what they have to say. I'm sure they can't do anything about it since my car is an 07.

Yes, the rev hang is terrible. There are people who say it was fixed for '07, but that is incorrect. Some people even claim to like it! There are two ways to drive it: let the clutch take the abuse of slowing the revs down on upshifts (and look like an idiot when the car lurches on every upshift), or hold the clutch in for 1.5 to 2 seconds between upshifts waiting for the revs to drop. There is no excuse for any new car to have a driveability issue like this. It's especially frustrating when one drives other manual transmission cars regularly- none of which have this defect- and then have to switch back to the Si.
All I'm hoping for is that this is fixed for 2008 AND Honda issues the fix for the rest of us.
