If the 4.1 final drive car is in third gear and you are in 4th, he will outaccelerate you until he needs to shift to 4th, where you will gain back on him again. In the same gear, the difference is very big tho. Check out this video, it is the exact situation you are trying to see. The white car starts in 3rd, the car with the camera (the one with the 4.67 final drive) starts already in 4th. See how the car in 3rd pulls momentarly, then falls back hard when he needs to shift.
