This.
It really does feel slow toward the bottom of the rev range because it makes all of its power above 5k. If you want a good dig off the line you need to rev it up a lot and even then the VQ doesn't make nearly the torque that other (especially v8) cars do.
Funny thing is every time I'm romping on it and think to myself how slow it feels, I end up looking down at my speedo and thinking "thank Christ there wasn't a cop around!"
