Here is Inside Line's assessment of roll out. I tend to agree that using roll out with 1/4 mile times seems appropriate as the 1/4 mile convention is from drag racing (where roll out is used). Conversely, roll out in 0-60mph times defeats the purpose of calling it 0-60. Roll out makes it ~5-60mph and falsely improves a vehicle's perceived acceleration time.
