Actually, the best answer is that ambient conditions (temperature, atmospheric pressure) and the car itself (engine outputs can vary by as much as 10% across identical models) are the most likely variables in accounting for the difference. |
I'm a big EVO reader but did not know Barker or Meaden had top racing experience, if so i retract my comment. I didn't mean to sound ignorant if i did
I'm more of a "Mr. Sport Auto"

Agreed 100%. Track tempature can obviously vary times by much. EVO did say the Koenigsegg CCX was run in damp tempatures so that slowed it down. I will add something stating it was.
