Ok gang, I got it!   Ummmm... weight differences!  Yeah, that's
it!  See, the 92's had wood trim while the 93's had carbon
fibre.   hahahaha!  Oh man... all this snow around here is giving me
brain frost.  ;-)

Ummmmm... any chance the tests just varied a little year to year? 
I mean, look in several different auto mags for their 0-60 times
and you'll notice they will be different from time to time or mag
to mag.  

I have heard that there was a recall regarding the trannies on the
92 cars and I suppose it would be possible that something was
changed in the 93's.  HMmmmm... I kinda doubt it though.


Later,

Darin
