I'm not jumping to conclusion, I'm just trying to understand both points in this thread.
The video shows one car doing a rolling start while the car starts accelerating from a steady speed as they hit the same mph. It takes time for boost and momentum to be created to achieve the same acceleration as the other car already has.

Here is the car in the video. 20' Bmw wheels and M5 brake
