I agree there are way too many inconsistencies when testing cars. There always has been a problem with different track numbers all the way back to the 60's. I was reading a Camaro history book that I have and read something interesting. When Car and Driver (or the like) would test a car, Hot Rod magazine would test the same car and consistently get better numbers. The reason was because they actually knew how to drive. I'm talking 1/2 second better times as well.
