"Flat spot" in Coyote power curve 6,000ish RPM?

Not sure if I'm just noticing this now or if it has been there all along but cosecutive 0-60 runs resulted in a mild flat spot high in the RPM range at WOT. It's like a slight hesitation in the pull...nothing dramatic but my passenged noticed it too.

I have 23,000 miles, all stock motor/drivetrain/tune.

Could this be a sign of trouble?

Any suggestions? The car drives astoundingly well in every other way.

FWIW, I have three more months on my powertrain warranty...so if something is going wrong...let it happen now!

Have you tuned your car? My mech noticed something similar during dyno runs and attributed it to the stock tune. something he'd seen before. my new performance tunes eliminated it.

Interesting...mine has a stock tune as well.

Do others find this? It wasn't alarming but it was noticable.
