I think as you mentioned, the bigger question is the underperformance by the G8x in that video. It SHOULD be quicker. But there are factory freaks and there are factory duds. Like all products, there is a distribution of quality. But my thinking is that CarWoW was aware of the debate this would cause and would have ensured that the F8x was stock. This was staged and unless they did this to get views, which is very misleading and speaks to their integrity, I would have no real reason to suspect foul play.
CarWOW is and always has been a click bait. More useless tests than anything else.
