I hate having to explain this so often, but here goes...
Magazine acceleration times will almost NEVER match yours. There are too many variables. Humidity(DP), temperature, elevation, and grade will all change 0-60 and 1/4 mile times considerably. Not to mention that every drivetrain is different, by as much as 10 or 15 horsepower perhaps. The only times you can rely on are acceleration times from comparison tests(to compare times between competing cars).
What I was talking about was how they got their best 0-60 and 1/4 mile times, it has nothing to do with track numbers or subjective evaluations...it is a fact.
