All other things equal (like both drivers are equally good, with both engines running properly, etc.), it mostly boils down to:
a) power to weight ratio (horsepower/weight)
b) gear ratios
An extreme example of the situation is a motorcycle running circles on a fancy racing car with lots of horsepower.
Ummm… To put it short, (I own a 2003 BMW M3 stock) Either that BMW had a supercharger +other mods/Turbo charger or the AMG owner was not trying to race or didnt launch very well and it was a short sprint race to like 60mph or something. That AMG would have ate that Bimmer up.
