Remaining tread depth makes a huge difference for wet panic stops:

Any brake pad designed for a specific car is going to be able to engage ABS on the first panic stop (or lock up the tires if the car doesn't have ABS). Unless there is a condition along the lines of zero brake pad material remaining or low brake fluid or some part of the braking system being broken, then brakes will not be your limiting factor for a single panic stop.
You could even stop an average car with the accelerator stuck at 100% throttle without the brakes failing:
"even with the engine racing at full throttle, Popular Mechanics editors have demonstrated a 2010 Toyota Camry with none of the recent fixes braking uneventfully to a stop from highway speed, so the brakes should easily stop the car."

That Camry also only has 170hp/tq
