Default synthetic oil
Does it add performance to a car? I changed to syn. oil and my car feels a bit smoother and quicker.

no, it just makes it run smoother because it's thinner and flows better.

wouldn't smoother and thinner reduced internal friction thus an increase in power?

It reduces friction and sticks to the parts better, so your car might run a little bit better.
