That all depends how good the brakes were, how good the tyres were and the road conditions (amongst other considerations, for example if the wheels lock and a skid ensues or not - the best braking occurs when the wheels are just about to lock up). If the brakes had failed, it would depend upon all the the friction available (in the wheel bearings, between the tyres and the road, air drag, etc).
If the crumple zones were being tested, the car would be fired towards a rather solid lump of concrete, so with a suitable lump of concrete, the car could be stopped in no distance; however the car can be guaranteed to be rather shorter than before it stopped, but it still will not have gone any further than the concrete lump.
Finally, if the emergency stopping distances as described in the highway code were used, the stopping distance would be 80ft thinking distance + 802/20 ft stopping distance = 400ft ~= 122m.
Perhaps you can give some more information, specifically the braking force that will be applied?

Well you would simply stop before the sign, meaning that there is an imaginary stop-line that extends from any stop sign, and you must stop before you cross that line.
Is there any higher than trillion?
Quintillion. Then infinity. Numbers never stop going up.
Is it possible to go negative miles per hour?
No, when you are at a complete stop you are going 0 mph.
How many feet does a car take to stop while going 55 miles per hour?
There is no single answer here. It depends on the weather conditions, road type, the brakes, the tires, and goes on. Bottom line is that if you are worrying about how far you have to stop, you are going too fast. ■
How far to stop a 4155 pound object going 12 miles per hour?
Depends on the magnitude and direction of the force applied to stop it.
How many feet would it take an eighty thousand pound tractor trailer going 50 miles per hour to stop?
The answer depends on the resistance to motion that the brakes could impart. This, in turn, would depend on the conditions of the brakes, of the tyres and of the road.
When is it going to stop raining in Scotland?
it will stop but than it would come back again sometime.
When you push a car what would make it stop?
Gravity if going uphill. Friction.

The distance it takes to stop once the brakes are applied?
It depends on how fast you are traveling, how well your brakes work and how much braking force is applied. If you are going 1 mph and slammed down on the brake you would stop instantly. If you are going 100 mph and lightly touched the brake who knows when you would stop.
If your allergic to an animal is that going to stop you from being a vet?
No, it would not it depends on how bad the allergy is. if it is really bad, then it probably would
At an intersection where there is a two way stop who would be at fault in an accident if the car that was required to stop and a car crossing that is not required to stop collide in the intersection?
It would be the car that was required to stop. That car should make sure it is clear before going through the intersection.
If you jumped out in front of a bus that was going 60 mph would it stop in time?
Definitely not. Do not try this.
