I once had an 88 olds that on dry pavement could NOT lock the wheels
with full brake force. I looked in the manual and basically they said
that was for safety reasons since a car with spinning wheels is more
controllable!

ABS was an option on that car, I wonder if the ABS version of the car
had stronger brakes?
