Huge Disparity in drag results of Autocar and PowerDrift

Hello everyone,

I precocious encountered this Drag contention betwixt the Dual Clutch turbo petrols of the Kushaq and Seltos done by powerdrift. In the race, the Seltos narrowly outguns the Kushaq.

This effect is wholly successful opposition with the resistance that autocar did betwixt the 2 cars erstwhile the Seltos facelift was launched (Around 10 months ago). In this video, the kushaq not lone wins but wins with a monolithic ever-growing pb from commencement to finish.

While tiny differences are wholly possible, depending connected a batch of tiny variables (including the operator and their launching). But a quality this immense conscionable doesn't marque consciousness to me. I person been trying to travel up with the reasons wherefore this mightiness person happened : possibly a large quality successful substance load, atrocious tyres connected the older car etc. But these are things that would get caught successful immoderate screening earlier a drag.

I wanted to cognize the opinions of the experts connected this forum, what bash you think? Should we commencement questioning the halfway credibility of these videos (but that sounds similar a large conspiracy mentation to spell on)? Did 1 of the cars person immoderate contented that mightiness person been overlooked?

P.S : I ain the kushaq 1.5 and person driven the seltos DCT rather a bit, the quality successful outright show connected a consecutive enactment person ever felt akin to me, truthful the results of the PowerDrift resistance seems much believable.

Would beryllium large if you could ticker the videos earlier commenting, conscionable to recognize however large the quality really was.
