Car A stops from 100mph (the GTR is an auto and they put their clutch foot over the brake thus stopping at exactly 100mph)
Car B stops from 104mph
Obviously, car A would have the advantage when timing 100-0.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but hasn't everybody been knocking the GT-R for being significantly larger and thus heavier than the Z06? Which would then actually give the Z06 the advantage in the 0-100-0? So even if the Z06 was braking from say 102 mph (which, if the magazine is letting these people slam on the brakes at 100 mph, they know what they're doing, stop making the driver of the Z06 sound like a retard behind the wheel), the added bulk of the GT-R would put it at a decided disadvantage. Yet it still got up to speed just behind the 'Vette and came to a halt significantly ahead of it...
