All American mags use the 1-foot rollout, unless they state they don't (which they sometimes do). When the Europeans talk about 0 - 60 they probably are not using a 1-foot rollout. But you'll have to read carefully to find out and sometimes cannot find out for sure.

Launch control should make the times better. However, some drivers are good enough to be able to best this, but likely not routinely. A DCT transmission also gets to 60 faster just because it can shift faster than most humans. LC + faster shifting - weight penalty = faster 0 - 60.


Cheers.
