Look, it doesn't matter where the bottles were in the car, what angle they were at, whether one was open or not, or the conductivity of the plastic. All that matters is the amount of water being frozen.

The equation clearly states that as well as common sense should. As someone above said, "what takes longer to freeze a drop of water or a glass of water." Also think of it this way...

I have a hot frying pan on the stove. I have a cup of water and I drip some of the water on the hot frying pan, the water drops instantly boil and evaporate. Now i dump the whole cup of water on the frying pan. What happens now? The water hits the frying pan and sizzles but not all of it is boiled off. Why? Because the frying pan does not have enough heat to energize all of that water into vapor. You can perform both the freezing and the boiling experiments yourself.
