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.
Here is a pretty decent explanation of what a "rolling" start really is (w.r.t. drag racing) : http://www.edmunds.com/car-reviews/f...nd-trucks.html

Scroll down to the section titled "A Few Words About Rollout".
