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...

That doesn't give the Z06 an unfair advantage because no matter what the Z06 weighs, it is working within its designed parameters. Nissan could've designed a lighter GTR, but they didn't.
Regardless, 100-0 is a pretty useless number imo. If you're on the track, the degree of brake fade over many laps is more important than the timing of a single stop.
Also, tires are one of the most important factors for 100-0 times. The GTR has better factory equipped tires than the Z06.
