The estimated 1/8-mile is the most important stat here. It clearly shows the results including the 0.2-0.3s rollout.

I think I just spotted the issue. The SL600 has a significantly faster 80-120 time in fourth gear which might affect things.

Yes, those type of specs should be excluded from scoring altogether. Because of differences in gear count and ratios.
