Different color calipers, so I am guessing they are different cars. GM did say the A8 would be faster than the M7 and that the Z07 produced more downforce than any car they had ever tested. If the Z07 package has 200 lbs of downforce (who knows what it really is) at 100 MPH, that's like having another full-size male occupant...not to mention the drag that must go along with it. That can significantly impact acceleration. So, maybe what we are seeing is that A8s with less aero accelerate faster. They won't handle the twisties as well, but they may be
really good in a straight line.
