Good question; I'm not sure how magazines, manufacturers, etc. decide on the single 0-60 times and other such stats they publish. I assume manufacturers try to use the "best" times (for obvious reasons), but I would think magazines and other testers would do multiple runs and use an average of them (then again, if they're trying to show the vehicle's FASTEST or BEST time, perhaps they DO use the best one they get). Anyone know for sure?
In my case, I did three runs yesterday, and used the best of the three. I'm a novice at this kind of stuff (I've never even had a car on a track), so I figure my "best" is probably still several tenths slower than a really good driver could get with numerous tries...
