I don't see why that's particularly impressive.

Ice would lengthen acceleration times/distances and the ability of the car to drive straight at high speeds, but should have little to no effect on top speed. (especially with studs)

I think having studded tires would certainly increase the rolling resistance of the tire. Isn't that kind of how snow/ice tires work?
