My unsolicited $0.02:
1) Other than those with an unhealthy obsession, who cares about a few seconds either way? There's no convincing me that any of the Big 3 is (key word here) significantly better performing or more reliable than the other 2.
2) The "what if" game (discussing # of cylinders or rear end ratio) can be played to infiniti; what if a GM 8.1, Ford V10, or Ram Hemi was turboed or supercharged? What if Aunt Sally was born Uncle Sal?
3) Not sure there really is much "unbiased" testing these days; ad dollars and closed-door handshakes have to be at least considered as possible influences.
I enjoy these tests/comparisons for what they are, but I take them with a grain of salt.
I enjoy not being brand loyal...it's liberating.
PS- Not to split hairs here, but the ISB that goes into class 6 & 7 trucks is not identical to the ISB in Ram pickups. They are brothers, but not twins.
