I could be completely off, but could it be because the Gixxer was travelling at faster velocity than the twin turbo? Perhaps in that sense, Gixxer stopped quicker relative to whatever velocity twin turbo was in, but required more distance due to higher speed. That's the only I can figure it would make sense given the info. Plus there could be many other affecting variables - weight of the vehicles, differences in the speed (even if slight), torque, shifting, etc.
