Minor differences in acceleration can probably be attributed to track conditions, or in fact if the BOSS LS tires aren't warm, they are way the hell down on traction.

However, I find the way-slow lap time to be a head-scratcher. Normally, you'd find the Audi to be a little quicker than the M, with the Merc winning and losing against the Bimmer, but you'd expect the Boss to be pretty much leading the charge.

Bumpy track, maybe? That would absolutely be a downfall for the Ford against these other three.

Good post. Thanks.
