Default 60-0 100-0 braking times/feet

Whats a good number for 60-0 and 100-0 braking times/length? The car I'm getting my brakes from does 60-0 in 120 feet and weighs ~3500 pounds. My car should only end up weighing about ~3000 pounds. I figure a 60-0 braking distance of about 110 feet on my car... is this an acceptible performance number? What are you guys getting with C5/C6 stuff?

that is great, most new high performance cars come in around that, under 100ft is really awesome, only a few factory cars do that.

Sticky tires, low center of gravity, and correct proportioning between front and rear will help mucho, oh, and of course lightest weight possible.
