Trap speed and quarter mile time can vary, even if one of the 2 numbers is the same between 2 cars. It's all about traction, launching, acceleration and what not. An example would be Car A does it in 12s @ 110MPH (I'm just making up numbers), Car B does 12s @ 120MPH. Both cars had the same time, but different trap speeds. Car A probably had good initial acceleration but didn't accel as quickly at higher speeds, like Car B.
