I always turn mine to ACC first and let the fuel pump prime, then turn it over. This is a known problem in cold weather if you don't prime the fuel pump first, but even in sunny so-cal I've had instances of hesitation when I didn't prime the pump.

actually, i had the same thing.
but i have a 350Z as well, and the time when i noticed that the Z was slow to start up, i knew the battery was going out.
i felt that the EVO was doing the same thing...and the very next day, the car wont start. dead battery. i still have the panasonic battery..thinking of going to the dealership and see if i can get it changed out to the optima red top....or just **** the dealer and by it on my own. autozone will warranty it if anything.

Mine ('10 X) starts just like the video. (thabks ityn)
It does take it a second to turn off though. I turn the "key" to off and a second later it actually stops. I think it's pretty cool actually.

It might indeed be the priming of fuel pump. I first thought it is due to heat soak but it does it even when I try to start it the next morning, so it is ruled out 
I'll try waiting on ACC a bit next time, and see if it makes it start faster.
