But when my friend drove my car who is much more experience than i am, he was able to do 15.4 and 15.5. The same applies to a track course, the driver factor will significantly have a huge difference on how fast or slow a car will perform.

Sure, but you can input values for launch parameters that represent the best a human can do to model the best possible case. That is okay since the published empirical data are obtained through best case scenarios to begin with anyway--meaning the mags will try to use expert drivers and do several runs to arrive at the best outcome. How representative all that might be of real-life driving is another question. But the published data do not address that issue either.
