125 or so ft. for 60 - 0

If you were doing "80 - 90", if the stoplight was anywhere within 150 ft of you, you wouldn't have stopped no matter what.

try making a video tape of you trying repeatedly to stop in less than 150 ft. from 80+ mph (maybe on a racetrack or something, or at a drag strip) and then measure it to prove this...

Yes, take it to the strip, you'll probably trap at exactly 80 mph, have an in car shot, and an outside shot at the same time, if you dont have 2 cameras, do just one outside shot and really step on those brakes...then pull it around, pickup your timeslip to prove the 80 or so mph trap speed, and measure your distance. Take pictures as well.
