We've always had a lively discussion here in the office about publishing rollout times in the performance results. Do you think that would be a good idea, or just extra information that might confuse too many readers?"
I'm pretty sure MT does the same, but can't currently find a document that confirms that.

Interesting. The link I posted did not say they use roll out. And it would be good to know if this is for 0-60 times of 1/4 mile or both. It seems some magazines use rollout for 1/4 mile and not 0-60.
Can you please link to the forum discussion? It sounds like a good read.
