The shortest stopping distance is achieved with a trained driver (usually a pro) doing threshold braking. That's how it's done in F1, for instance. For everyone else there's ABS.

We don't know if the car in the test is using a special ABS calibration. Most street calibrations won't get the best out of RComps or slicks, for instance. If you're running RComps and you have the right ABS calibration, you can pretty much do threshold braking - the ABS will hold off until things are well past that point. Street calibrations aren't so forgiving, and they'll kick in earlier.
