Different test conditions can lead to rather big discrepancies in the results, this why it is flawed to draw definitive conclusions on a single sample. The correct way to compare empirical results is to average several test samples of each car and compare the averaged results of each car between them.

Further, you are underestmating the weight benefit of the CCB on the G82. It is more in the ~21kg range than the 13kg you quote.
Even the driver could be the difference...not talking about skill per se, there's a 40kg difference between Richard Hammond and Jeremy Clarkson. Even that's worth a tenth... :-)
