If anyone is interested, I found the answer to my own question in that thread.

Is something that we have to live with or does it get better with a few thousand miles on the engine? I'm not sure I'll ever get into the 6k range again to avoid this harshness, unless it's absolutely normal and harmless.
I have around 8,500miles on mine. I drive mostly on the backroads and frequently accelerate hard. The harshness everyone is talking about is still there, but is much less than it was @ break-in (2,000 miles). Use a quality synthetic and have fun with the car. These VQ's age well (take a while to really break-in).
