ET is affected a lot more by things like traction, which is hurting in a FWD Saab. Trap speed is pretty consistent and a better indicator of power, but still very much an estimate. Temp, humidity, altitude, gearing, shifting, etc. all come into play. What does a stocker do in the quarter? Note that magazine times are usually corrected to sea level and a standard temp. Plus they often use a pretty brutal launch if it's beneficial.
