That seems far more likely to me.

Maha dynos are known to be very accurate though. Why would the dyno be wrong for just two of the test cars? And the heaviest car in the test with the least power performs best...?
Same thing applies to suspension settings. 99% of the cars (which are all supplied by the manufacturers) tested by SportAuto are out-of-spec (mostly more camber which directly increases grip in cornering). It's just ridiculous.
