Is it because we expect the power to come on late on a typical turbo car so the speed is made up toward the end of the run (assuming everything were working right)?

Well, here are 4 cars with considerably LESS POWER, all trapping higher, and lower et's. for a car that's claiming 600whp, seams way off. That car should be running
in the mid 11's with trap speeds 125mph +

Nissan GTR AWD (480bhp) 11.8 - 116.5mph
Corvette Z06 RWD (505bhp) 11.7 - 123.7mph
Porsche 911 Turbo AWD (480bhp) 11.7 - 121.2mph
2010 Ford Shelby Cobra RWD (540bhp) 12.4 - 118.0mph
