It doesn't have better acceleration.

As posted previously, people who have no/little track experience often get fooled by this: it is normal for the car in front to pull away when coming out of corners because it starts to accelerate earlier. Watch an F-1 race, you'll see the cars get closer together when going into a corner and then distance themselves on the straights. However, in the long uphill section after Bergwerk, where power matters a lot, the GT3RS easily catches up to the M2C.
I said "appeared to have better acceleration" and I'm glad you chimed in because this was exactly my point.
