^ Right. Think about it this way do you want to know the difference between the cars or the difference between the drivers? With purely apples to apples analysis such as charts, spreadsheets and simulations we can completely remove the driver from the equation or if chosen actually account for the driver (e.g. long shift times in simulation to represent a poor drag racing driver).
As far as the M5board videos go I think they are pretty good. Sure there is always the driver effect, but they do many more rolling start videos than launch from zero. Here when you have MT driver that is indeed a variable but that is not enormous. What you see then in the videos is great because it is the relative motion of the cars. If the production power specification are consistent (which I believe they are these days, very consistent (hmmm less the GT-R...)), this relative motion (which demonstrates the relative torque to the wheels as a function of time per vehicle weight!) is very representative of the two vehicles capabilities.
