just get the 2 guys to swap cars, then have a couple more runs, easy way to see if its driver related
you should be able to move it ('deflect it', ie push it downwards) about a few mm, maybe about a 10mm or so.Quote:

if it moves more than 15mm or so - you are probably not opening the throttle up all the way when you put the pedal to the floor, you might only be getting 90% or full throttle, and therefore 90% of full power!
you need a 12mm spanner to adjust it.
(i can see all you peeps checking your engine bay with 12mm spanners after reading this - good luck :) )
There are heaps of reasons,
1.both are modded differently
2. Difference in fuel
3.Toatal weight of car+driver+fuel+stereo+etc
4.Tyres and pressure
5. Rims
6. Driver skill(slow releasing of clutch or slow to shift up)
7.Freaky motor
