yes! the on and off ramps are like amusement park rides. The tires are sticking great for oem's. I bet it is amazing if you use some higher end summer tires.

The OEM tires really aren't as bad everyone makes them out to be.
You can break them free pretty easily, but you usually have to do so purposefully or be driving a lot faster than you should be on the street.

It would not matter what tires it came with stock people would still complain and replace them. Just like wheels and exhausts.

I was thinking of just keeping the emblems and replacing the rest of the car with a bugatti. Then add some stickers

car delete + stickers = street cred

You forgot to ask if you could do that with $1400.
