Bull. It's easy to lock up the brakes - that doesn't mean it's the best way to stop the car. Woefully undersized brakes can lock up even performance tires. Brakes work by converting kinetic energy into heat - the more energy you can bleed off (with better pads and rotors) without simply stopping the tire from turning (which requires almost no work from your brakes), the faster you'll stop. Why do you think bigger cars have bigger brakes even with the same tires? Because there's more energy that needs to be bled to slow the car.
