Not surprising. Your true speed is faster in less dense air. But as long as you fly IAS that should not be a big factor. Compared to higher performance planes you can still turn on a dime with that slow bird. I would be surprised if the PF did deliberately accelerated manoeuvres with a load of paying customers.
