It’s slower ... when you’re in the completely wrong gear. Again, 80km/h to 120km/h in 4th is a test for daily driving on your highway commute, not for telling you anything about how the car feels while you’re having fun on a track or a back road. In the proper gear, the G8x 6MT is faster than all S55-powered cars, with the only possible exception of the 480hp M4 GTS (and that’s a maybe since the G8x puts power down much better than any F8x).
