Not a rolling start. This is from a standstill. Unless I have the wrong understanding of rolling start. I used no techniques, just the same way any novice would do it.
I think rolling is anything without a rev-launch. No?
Lol I thought you would have the answer. I honestly think you know more about cars than me. Here is my logic and I stand to be corrected, if its a rolling start then the car has to be in motion at the start right? Like the Indy 500, contrast that with formula one which is a standing start.

Anyway no one else seems to be doing this so tonight I am doing a 0-60 in my x5 so we have another data point from which to compare. I will use the iphone approach. Of course the x5 will be slower but just a sanity check. I wish my G37 was still around for this test.
