The computer can do it a whole hell of a lot faster than you can, and
can do it one wheel at a time.
I very much doubt you can stop faster than good ABS. (I don't think
GMs early ABS systems were very good, though. For one thing, they're
only a three channel system, as i recall. The rear axle is modulated
both sides together, instead of at each wheel.)
