Traction (or a lack of) and increases in weight (quite a bit of weight) means the power to weight ratios are similar despite the power hike.

So you have a traction limited drive train and no meaningful increase in the power to weight ratio, so the numbers will look the same/similar.

You need AWD to get real improvements in the 0-60 when cars are this powerful.
