Default car show setup?

I was setting up my 98 roadster as a CSI setup for the Custom Car Show with a dried up body in front of the car, police lights flashing on the dash and an chalk outline of a body under the driver side door sticking out. I will be using police tape instead of rope as my block off. The people running the car show thought that I should leave out the movie prop (body) due to people might get stress over it. The dried up body looks very real, a $10k movie prop that was made for my film. I was going to build a box and place the body in it with dirt so it looks like it is being dug up.

I'm trying to think how I could set this up now that I'm not using the body? Any ideas?

Also I was looking on the websites on how fast the car goes from 0-60 and 1/4 mile and I get different answer does anyone know?

How about using the chalk or tape outline of a body on the floor only (without the body)?
Make a template out of poster board or heavy paper (so you could roll it up and stash it) and do an outline with masking tape (indoors) or chalk.

chalk should be good enough to get the idea across.
