Default Need Help...

Hey guys,
recently bought my first IS300 with the E-shift tranny, and so far I'm loving every moment.
Okay, here is my delima with my baby, when I push it to 3/4 to full throttle I've noticed that when the tach reaches at about 4.5K the car doesn't seem to pull as hard, but the speedo climbs at a steady rate and then when it shifts to the next gear it starts to pull hard again. This happens through each gear in the tranny. Now, do you think I should take my baby to the dealer and get it scan or is there something that I'm missing. Please any help is welcome.

Thanks in Advance,
wvc

I'd take it in and just have them check it out. Take it on a test drive. Better safe than sorry right?
