Unless you've invented something that decouples all of this, you are, in fact, spinning the converter (and the transmission fluid pump).
It's entirely possible that the cars he's heard rev faster have either a smaller diameter converter (my TCI 3500 SSF was smaller and lighter than my stock converter), or a stick. Even a stock flywheel and pressure plate should be lighter then a stock converter. Let alone those with aluminum or other lightened flywheels.
It's also possible that it's all in his head.Now stop free revving yours cars, it's hard on bearings.

get someone that knows how to rev a car.. not your ricer friend or your girlfriend.. but someone that knows what to do and you stand outside of it.. because when i hear mine (inside the car it seems like it does take forever) but when i hear my friends his sounds really fast.. but if i stand outside and get someone to rev mine, it sounds just as fast.....
both cars are modded.. stall cam yada yada yada..

Its pretty simple really, you have a small brown planet attached to your flexplate right now. I bet that thing has its own gravitational field it is so big. Combine the dead weight with the impeller design and yeah, your throttle response from idle will seem slow. Throw in an aftermarket stall, most are 9.5 inch I think, and weigh like 25 lbs less, you will notice a HUGE difference, best mod possible for an A4 car. (note: even though you are in neutral and no clutch packs are engaged, you are still spinning the input shaft, so everything attached to that will spin as well, also heavy.)

You do spin the converter in neutral or park. The converter is bolted to your flexplate, and the flexplate is bolted to your crankshaft.
