Lightbulb How did I manage to beat all these cars?

Raced on an airport road, I have a bone stock 2003 350z. (287hp)
Cars I raced:
2010 BMW 335i- stock boost, had another passenger with him. Beat him three times, one from a 40 roll and two from a 60 roll. only beat him by one-two cars

2011 VW GTI- Stage two, down pipe(makes 300lbs torque to the wheels), raced him twice from a 40 roll beat him both times by half a car

2004 GTI- upgraded turbo on 24 PSI, bigger injectors, and all bolt ons, beat him by almost 3 cars.

Honda S200- stock, beat him by almost a bus, no surprise here.

What im wonderingm is how I beat the GTI's and especially the 335i..and this is actually the second 335i I've been in the last month.. either my Z is abnormally fast..IDK. and for the record, these guys all know how to drive relatively well.

Someone wanna give their two cents?

Did you ask them if they were granny shifting? Or double clutching like they should?

Answer is all in the question.

ive beaten cars also that i know i should not have been able to. it all comes down to driver. If your on ur A game and they just are horrible miss a shift ect... also some people dont want to push the cars past a certain mph or rpm, so its all driver and consider yourself lucky

You did the flyby after they had already let off ahead of you.
