A drag race , then do a 62mph-123mph timed run in sport mode (100-200kph), The brake tests are irrelevant as one can brake before the other , rather do a timed 70-0 .
I'm not saying he jumped but he skewed the results because he worked out that it took half a sec for the clutch to engage which the other two didn't account for so his car moved when the girl said go and the other two were just sinking the foot at that point. Which was good racing by Yianni but not a fair test of the cars and the guy in the Merc wasn't as aggressive as the other two. It would be better if they switched cars and did the drag race 3 times.
