Automakers have always done what they can to get the best specs and test results, so the fact that they're all now using advanced launch and traction control systems is no different (consider the lap times cars are getting because of the computers at work now).

"Real speed is acceleration from when you are already rolling"....
Yeah, you can't just go around evaluating a car by measuring it's performance!
