Car and Driver Magazine tests are ALWAYS carried out with rollout in addition to the times that are verified. Much to my shock I thought this was 0.2 seconds, a "flat rate" if you will!
But they actually sometimes use they 50% more sometimes, and it's not entirely always made known which it actually is.
Anyway the difference at 160MPH between the two is inconsequential with or without it added. And knowing the simply incredibly impressive 1/2 mile time and speed for the McLaren Senna in comparison, and the BOSS LEVEL dominantion on the racetracks, the McLaren Senna walks it home.
