It seems wwhen they come accross 2 or more vehicles with the same motor, they just give it the same stats. Example 96-98 Cobra.98 Cobra had different ECU and fuel curve, it clearly went 2-3 tenths in all the mags, yet they list it the same...there are other exmples of this in the website.Good general reference, though, I must say.
The times listed on the site represent the best recorded times gathered from mainly the top three automotive publications that report performance stats. They were not tested on the same day, by the same driver, or under the same conditions (Climate, elevation, and track conditions). Therefore, the times may seem to be bogus to anyone who doesn't think to take this into account. All in all, it's a good place to send the guys who like to make selective quotes from magazines. Here they can find the "best" reported performance for a certain vehicle, instead of the times from *****ty conditions that support the argument they are making at the time.
