Its a Chevelle, not an Olds!

Is there something I am missing here? I am not sure what time is all added into these figures or how exactly they are done.
Let's say my car does 0-100 mph in 5-5.5 seconds, If I picked the slowest stopping distance of lets say 5-5.5 seconds from 100 mph, that would give me somewhere in the 10-11 second 0-100-0 range, correct??

According to that list, the Viper goes 0-100 in 9.9 seconds? Is that right? That is extremely slow.

I need to get the car out in spring to try my new rear suspension geometry to see if I can get off the line faster. If I can get to 5 seconds flat or better seconds for 0-100 that will help out my braking by allowing more time. I am hoping the super sticky massive rear tires will help my braking a little by allowing quite a bit more bias to the rear.

I have C5 brakes all around with 255/40/17 BFG Gforce up front, and 315/35/17 Goodyear GSCS road race slicks in the rear. For Spring I am
swapping front and rear springs to the Eiback Pro kit, and will have Bilstein sport shocks all around.(After Christmas is over I am going to pick them up.)

There is no true way to find out what it will do untill I actually get to try with my car. Does my standard G-tech do this? I assume I will have to do 0-100 and 100-0 seperately and add the times together??
