You're both right !
I've always understood that as soon as your car makes it to the next bracket you call it a "12 second car (12:99)". We do the same thing in bicycle racing - "I want to make a 24" means you can run the course in 24:59". The magazines have used this type of nomenclature as long as I've been reading them.
But Greg is also right - it is a big leap from 6:72 to 6:09. Just like its a big leap from a 24:59 on the bike race to a 24:30.
