All C&D 0-60 times are done with a drag strip style roll out where the car moves a food or so before it crosses the timing light. For most performance cars with two wheel drive this knocks three tenths of a second off the time. C&D also temperature corrects its results.
It might be OK to use the roll out for quarter mile times as that is how a drag race is done, but for 0-60 it is a distortion. Rarely does any magazine show a better 0-60 time than C&D, and there have been many examples over the years where their results were simply not obtainable.
