Here is Data for the Point I was trying to make earlier...
These are two 60-130 runs from my car at speeds close to what we are told the cars in question can run . They are performed entirely in fourth gear. IOW, no shifting variable. The faster run is a 7.51s the slower run is a 8.41s I believe. The times dont exactly match on the graph because the runs start at 58mph. If you download the graph on your computer and zoom in so you can see the distance plot, you can see that when the first car hits 130mph the second car is roughly 40 feet behind. So in giving up 0.9s in 60-130 the loser car is only behind by a little more 2.5 car lengths. However, if the second car was behind by 0.9s in a quarter mile et, this would be a much greater distance. Also if you were talking 4s 60-130vs. 5s 60-130s the distance would also be greater.
