I believe you can hear an engine note change when he hits the pedal — i.e. the transmission is kicking down a gear, so the car was doing what it was designed to do. He gets to drive allot of high powered vehicles, and he probably did think it was a bit of a slug as compared to Ferrari's, etc. I think he fell into the usual trap of putting to much importance on 0-60 numbers (many people do, unfortunately). Allot of cheap and nasty machinery goes fast — thats the easy part, but in my opinion its all about HOW it does it (and if it puts a smile on your face). He does at the end say the he liked the car.
