Default what's wrong with this stat?

"While out in G'burg, they let us autocross a new 9-3 (Linear) and provided a BMW 325i and Audi A4 1.8t for comparison autocrossing. The FTD for the Audi was 5 seconds slower than the Saab &amp; BMW. The Saab beat the BMW by 1.2 seconds, on a 40 second auto-x course!"<ul><li><a href="http://www.saabnet.com/tsn/bb/performance/index.html?bID=50296">http://www.saabnet.com/tsn/bb/performance/index.html?bID=50296</a</li></ul>

Default You mean how it was slower by 5 seconds than both, yet, the Saab and BMW didn't have the same time?

They should've clarified which of the two cars the Audi was slower than, but I guess they meant it was 5 seconds slower than the Saab.

Or did you mean something else about the stat?

I'd be very curious to see if it was an A4 1.8t quattro or not, and what transmission. This is autocrossing, after all.

Sorry, I misread and though the bimmer was the fastest. You're right- 5 sec slower than the BMW then
