Default s4 playing

i was at a large empty parking lot yesterday with couple of my friends, they brought their cars too
2002 BMW M3, 2003 Infiniti G35, 2003 Infiniti G35 coupe, 2003 Nissan 350Z, Mercedes C230, WRX
and we were all testing each others cars..and everyone concluded that my S4 had the best handling, brakes, suspension and "fun"
also, they were going 80 and then making a turn, making the tires screech..how bad is it for the tires? by the way in a race, no one can beat M3's acceleration but S4's turbo and torque are king

S4 brakes the best... You mean on other cars (like M3) they are worse???

Default A squealing tire is a happy tire. More....

On SOME tires, screeching happens just before a loss of traction. The downside is that if you do lose traction and the tire starts to scrub or spin, you are driving beyond the limits of the tirea and therefor not as efficient. On a track, you want to maintain traction to maximize speed.
