"Green" cars = "soft" results. There's just sooooo many variables: ambient temp, heat soak, PTM selection, strip prep, Mustang vs. DynoJet etc. etc... The only commonality is the State of Texas locations...

As I mentioned, "consider the sources"...and the timing = new/fresh. Cars with 2,000 miles will probably bring improved results all by themselves. Magazine road-test cars, you can be sure, will be well-prepared and broken in.
