What's the shortest distance for 0-100-0?

It is a little short of 60 feet and about 0.8 seconds to exceed 100 mph. Not sure about the time to stop.

Not Cobra related but quarter mile related from this side of the pond. Also achieved the fastest time at the Goodwood Festival of speed hill climb against all competition including super cars and F1.

Ed, can you clarify - or correct - that??

Sure Glen,

It was Brittany Force at Pomona last month. Stopping the clock with the mph at a whisker over 100 mph, the time was right at 0.8 seconds — and it happened in just under 60 feet! Here is a summary of the run with Justin Ashley in the other lane.
