On instant green, the quicker car is free to react instantly to the tree and won’t be in danger of fouling.

Not to mention that the quicker car is likely to react quicker, although with two cars in the same class, the difference will be almost negligible.

How many people are really going to be 3 or 4 tenths late on the full tree?

My line of thinking is that IF the slower car anticipates the instant green and gets it right,they may have a "chance" to win a heads up race. Lots of no prep racing is done like that. And the slower car "sometimes" gets lucky and wins.
