Well, I think you answered your own question - you said you both ran the same times. If you both ran the same ET in the quarter mile, then it comes down to driver and gearing. He has an A4, you have an M6...I think with the m6 you will have a slight advantage, but not much, hence the 2 mph higher trap.
