Depends.
If you go to a drag strip in the US, it will tell you you did 14.0.

But 14.3 represents the "standstill to quarter mile" time better indeed.

I believe that it is not an apples to apples comparison with the older S2k timings.

That's a good point!
They did however specify that they'll be re-calculating times for past vehicles.
Ideally we should check each individual test for old cars to see if they've been updated,
and which of the two numbers were picked for the comparison above.
