As an instructor explained to me once...Brakes are doing what? (err, stopping you?) and engine is doing what (driving you forward...duh)

Threshold brake, two feet in.

One time, at Porsche camp, we did exercises with 996s where we were supposed to use the ABS on a wet skid pan. Some of us discovered it was possible to stop the car quicker threshold braking at the point of ABS activation. But in a panic, in an ABS car, just stand on the brakes as hard you can and let the system do the work while you steer seomehere else. Different skill in a non ABS car- but the gears wont help you.
