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.

Using the same logic, GM could've equipped the Z06 with better tires, but they didn't.
I'm curious how the braking distances would change over, say, 5 to 10 stops from speed. This shows the heat capacity of the brakes, rather than just their capability in a single cold braking event. Both are important.
