Looks to me that when launched properly zeds do an 1/8 of a mile (200.5 metres) in 8 seconds... so my guess is a zed would take around 5-6 to do 100metres. Bolt has no chance :#1:

 

but you hav to take into account the cars fastest section is the 2nd 100 metres. at that point its rate of acceleration is exponential. first 50 metres is where it counts and it depends on acceleration.

60mph is 27 metres/s

 

to reach 27m/s in 6 seconds requires acceleration of about 4.5ms^2

 

In short, at 60mph you will have covered around 81m. the remaining 19m taking just .7 of a second at the 27m/s if acceleration stopped. Zed will cover the 100m in or under 7 seconds.

Hands up who, if they could run at 27mph, would not seek out speed cameras in 20mph zones and just take the pi*s. I know I would. :lol:

 

Get a bike (the pedal-driven variety), make up some amusing/rude fake numberplate & stick it on the back, find a quiet residential 20mph speed camera. Make it flash all evening. :)
