I thought it has always been 0-60. The time for the new Rocket is 2.89 seconds from 0-62. Am I missing something or is it just a misprint. Never heard of this.

You can do it consistently, over and over until the tire or clutch are toast. Launch control....smexy. Probably my favorite feature of all this new fangled technology. Cutting a 3.0 on my bike is quite challenging since launch control isn't there to help, and the bike wants to wheelie or spin.
