The fact that the G8X has a better power-to-weight tells us it is the faster car. However all these videos do not give a true appreciation of the acceleration difference between the two. They are just click baits.
I agree (that is the reason I have never liked carwow roll races), the most realistic scenario would be for the cars to start the roll race in the most optimal gear for that given speed, but that was not the point of my post because some forum members have claimed that the outcome of the two separate situations where we have G82 and F82 was similar, which was not the case
