GT Plus feels sluggish off the line normal?

I've recently gotten my hands on a low-mileage 2024 Hornet GT Plus, it's my first turbo car after years of driving hybrids. I really love the look and features, but I've noticed that it feels a bit sluggish from a standstill. While most reviews say it can go from 0 to 60 in around 5.7 seconds, mine seems to hover closer to 7 seconds

Once it's rolling, though, it really pulls well. I'm just curious if anyone else is experiencing the same sluggishness at the start. Is this typical for turbo cars, or should I consider getting it checked out? I'd love to hear about your experiences
 
Sharp choice.... hybrids, try a pedal tuner to sharpen the throttle response, it doesn't add power but makes it feel more alive down low and also, make sure you're running premium fuel and that the engine is fully broken in, things tend to loosen up and feel better after a few thousand miles
