5 seconds for the Boss was also slow.
Could be due to a number of factors. The track itself is one obvious culprit -runways don't provide the best traction for a drag race, thats what drag strips are for. Environmental conditions are another. I got a feeling that it was a particularly hot & humid day there, though I can't really say anything for sure from the video. If it was (and they don't bother to use a correction factor), its going to hurt the performance of both cars quite a bit. Lastly, they probably didn't use the 1 foot rollout method for measuring 0-60. That would result in times that are around a quarter second slower than they would be otherwise. Couple tenths here, couple tenths there ... it adds up.
