Three things come to mind when I see an "off" time like that.
1. Weather - could have been very humid and hot. I know my truck slows up
as much as 3 tenths when it's hot, and also altitude that they ran at
compared to Motor Trend.
2. Traction - Fact is they probably didn't get the R/T hooked up very well.
3. Driver Skills - Just another variation that plays a big role in how the
truck was ran through the 1/4 mile.
