different trans, tighter suspension, maybe better tires...same engine though. maybe he/she pushes their car more often so the computer responds a little quicker? maybe less gas so less weight? just some thoughts...

Its an auto vs auto only 258hp. You push the gas and go. There is not much skill involved to those claiming it was the driver. I had the same experience beating an 07-08. I held third manually and put a carlength on him. I'm not sure what is so hard to believe.

Yeah, quite the degree of difficulty in mashing the gas pedal.
