Wait, aren't the "5-60", and the "0-60 with one foot of rollout" two different things? And isn't 5-60, simply 5-60 (i.e accelerating from a constant 5, then flooring it up to 60, without a so-called rollout)? Either wires are crossed here, or I'm totally confused, which is entirely possible.
I believe the big difference between 0 - 60 times and 5 - 60 times are mostly due to launch control rather than turbo lag. There was a big difference in those times for the NA 991.1 too.
The reason there isn't a big gap for the Corvette is probably because it doesn't have a good LC to use for the 0 - 60.

Yes they are different things. Your description is how I understand it. With 5 - 60 you can't use LC.

Regardless, the NA 991.1 had a similar gap between 0 - 60 (4.2 sec) and 5 - 60 (5.3 sec) according to Car and Driver's test. So at least for the 911, it doesn't seem to be turbo related.
