How are cars stopping so quick?

It's a bit down to the setup, definitely to some extend to the aero settings.
And of course camber, abs and tyre pressures.
I think the main thing though is that the quicker drivers can brake longer because they brake deeper into the corners and therefore put their braking distance as a whole further into the turns but also because they simply go quicker through the corners.
Whether or not you can pull that off with a controller I don't know. I know I personally couldn't. In theory it's possible though.
Oh and of course the cars are all different! So you need to compare the same car for this comparison.
Not that i can do it, but here's the wiki-artcile to the proper breaking technique for light cars or cars with ABS

Oh heck i used to be worse than that. I could not imagine how to slow the car down enough at the 100m board to make the corner. I am getting better and most of the time i can pass the 100m board and make the corner but not too far past. I have found the the bias has a lot to do with it. Trying to get all four wheels to brake evenly when going straight and then not lock the front wheels on corner entry is a bit hard for me to do
Which track are we talking about btw?
And how do you manage to lock the fronts with abs?
I would assume its not so much the locking, but even with ABS you can get a bit of push in the car if it is active. I always find cadence/threshold braking works better than just mashing the ABS in 99% of occasions.
