Well, do you think that if I were to travel down a very long hill and reach a very high top speed; that I would deduce that my car has more "power" than someone who runs a short run on a measuring device? Like a dyno? Trap speeds are measurements like dyno runs. But trap speeds can be very deceptive.... as the example above proves.
