Here you go Mike. This site has multiple magazine reviews of the C5 Z06. It has 6 or 7 numbers for 60-0. There are some goofily high numbers, but most are around 100 feet. http://www.corvetteactioncenter.com/...06perform.html

let your tire pressure down to 25 pounds and slam the hell outa your breaks( hahahaha) and use the brake computer to stop you. probably bruise your stomache if you don't put your belt on friggin tight... you will win by 10+ feet

and don't death grip the steering wheel or you will sprain your wrists!
