Car and Driver had an article where they explained their testing procedures. All those great times you see? If the car was an automatic, they hold down the brake with one foot and hit the gas with the other, getting the rpms way up into the powerband, then they let go of the brake and floor it. They try out different rpms for the launch to see what gives 'em the best time. So unless you do that your time will be well behind theirs.
Same goes for stick shift, they rev it up and dump the clutch. ouch.
