if you aren't slipping your clutch and only taking off normally of course it's going to feel slow lol, Also because of it being non turbo compared to your husbands MS3, it has a much more linear power delivery curve, so you don't get such a sudden burst of torque as the turbo kicks in like with his car, this will make it feel slower also if you are used to driving his car with the turbo.

try this, next time you try and take off quickly, from a stop apply your hand brake, keep your foot on the clutch and let it out until its just catching to get some load on the car while you apply the throttle to about 3000-4000rpm to start with, once you want to start, as you are apply more throttle and take your foot off the clutch release the handbrake as well, as soon as you start moving you can basically mash the accelerator pedal to the floor and it will hook up. (think of it basically like a hill start, but be much more aggresive with your accelerator and clutch).
