Fast forward to the Plaid being full of passengers. Now it runs the 6.38 60-130, but the 720S pulls hard on it? Eh, it seems like someone added something at the pump, to the 720.

You might be overcooking this--- 5 additional people at lets say 175 average weight as there were some women in there is a huge add on and can clearly account for the half a second slower 60 to 130. The Plaid motors overcomes what the LR never had, more continuous pull up top but as owner of the S Plaid I can tell you that weight plays a mitigant in speeds up top (past the 130) thus the 720 moving away past that segement.
I dont think it pulled hard either; having done many races on my life and then watching them on the camera, the gaps via video are optically much larger than real life. I remember these videos being posted back to back as I follow AG alot. Obviously no one can confirm if there was fuel bumps but I can see this happening for sure.
