Default Help finding braking distance data please

Could anyone point me in the right direction as to where i could find reliable data for the stopping distances of a stock S2K.
I am particularaly interested in 100-0 and 80-0 distances (mph).
This is for a court case so magazine articles would be the best source i suppose.
Thanks

You need to know the year. Also, anything other than stock tires will skew the results. Tire wear will skew the results. Road surface will skew the results. Stopping distances are typically measured as 60MPH-0. Try Edmunds.com. Google is your friend.

Car and Driver lists 70-0 distances. I don't know of any magazines that do 80-0 or 100-0 as part of their regular tests, but maybe someone else does.

Thanks. I have googled ALOT and i have found articles from various sources and various speeds up to around 80mph. I was hoping for a related magazine article or something actually in print i could find. May take to the track myself and run some tests. Thanks anyway.

Road and Track does 80-0 distances. A quick search there shows a comparison test from 2005 with full test results:
