I seem to be getting this "flat spot" btw 5200 and 5800rpm. Everything is find below and above this range. I bought the car 7 months ago and put it through its 48k service in June. I am not sure if the flat spot has been there since purchase as I hardly ever get to that kind of rev. But since first discovering it, I seem to make a habit of finding it.

Does anyone else have any experience of flat spot on the 996 (1999 CAB)? Any suggested remedies before a trip to the OPC.......or is this normal

Ok. There is a kink in the 996's powerband, where the variocam kicks in. But I think that is around 3000-4000 revs. So I'm not sure, I'd ask your OPC.
