im confused on the wording of the "results omit 1 foot roll out." omitting 1 foot roll out as in they arnt using the 1 foot roll out procedure for those...... or the results omit/exclude the 1 foot which means 1 roll out is included?

from my own personal testing im gonna say it means the 0.3 secs is omitted left out of the test. so true 0-60 is 4.2

am i wrong?

I just read this and think you are correct.

https://www.caranddriver.com/features/a30085446/acceleration-testing-procedure-change-rollout/

I have a racebox I use for track days. It supports drag runs as well but I never use it. I should probably do that at least once.

I used a draggy device to test 0-60 in my Z Nismo. 4.2 was the best I could do but it said 3.9 with 1 foot roll out which is consistent with their test

1 foot roll out makes sense for 1/4 but 0-60 should be true 0-60 not 4 or 5 mph to 60. The problem is if one magazine uses it there is pressure for other to use it.

the guy saying he would rather have the 370z NISMO really invalidates his opinion to me
These guys are the more “fun” “troll” reviewers

I watch all these reviews yet I don't know why. I already have a Z in my garage. I can't help it.

I am not picking on the Nismo, but i hate click bait-ish "track weapon" reviews when they 1- don't actually drive the car on the track. 2- Are not a track person. .02
