As he said, that has nothing to do with a driver's skill and just shows that the other car had far more power than original.

Just to add a note.
I was testing my car at Brands to get to the bottom of a misfire before a Spa meeting and the only day I could there was a track day, I overtook a Scooby going into clearways and much to the drivers amazement pulled away along the top straight.
The said driver came into the garage and said how can that "thing" beat me out of a corner as I have 440HP ! my mechanic said "well we have 500" so he walked away satisfied.
