Car probably slows down - on the low HP stuff there isn't enough power to get the car moving if the flywheel/clutch is too light, need that inertia to not bog it down....

I'd say my low HP car doesn't repeat well enough to measure gains of a few hundredths, weather and wind move it more than that run to run.
