I will state my premise:
if you can engage ABS (or lock the brakes without ABS) with stock brakes you cannot utilise any more braking torque.
While this is true, Engaging the ABS isn't the fastest way to slow down, threshold braking is the fastest way to slow a car down, but it is not something that is can be easily achieved in a constant basis.
