There seems to be quite a few differing ideas here....so some facts.You, on your bike, are highly unlikely to outbrake a car in an emergency stop on the highway.
If you brake at the bikes maximum capability and the driver brakes at their vehicles maximum capability there's quite a few cases where the car will stop faster and sometimes pretty significantly. Rarely does the combination favor the bike. In some cases maximum braking even favors a pickup more than a bike.
Some people are going to take issue with this statement so let's just go straight to the numbers: All are 60mph to 0mph stopping distances.

Don't become a statistic. Know the facts. Don't spread misinformation that could get someone hurt or killed. You probably won't outbrake a car. In the cases where maybe you can do you really want to bet your life on it? Stay aware. Know your braking limits.
