Just a guess, but to get a "true" reading, you can't add your 0-100 and your 100-0 times together, because there is a transitional period where the suspension has to "resettle," shifting the weight from the rear to the front of the car. I would think this takes quite some time, especially with a relatively soft-sprung car. Just using my imagination, this process alone could take well over 1 second; during this time hardly any deceleration would be taking place.
