60g isnt going to make that much of a difference, especially when you are already rolling and the FGX has faster corner speed. its simply the gearbox which basically has 3 gear reductions where as a DD car has only 1 and its 64p at that! I have another 104 that weighs 1150 and it still out accelerates the FGX. This is only noticeable on the large fast tracks, most will not even notice.
