Yes, you are correct. This bugs me too. The starter motor spins fast, but the engine is spinning slowly.
The 3.2 won't just fire immediately upon cranking. The computer waits for the signal pin on the flywheel to pass the reference senders. So it can take nearly a full revolution of the crank for the engine to fire.
