Any1 else go for a drive last night and find there car feel faster?
I went out in the 5 last night and was plesantly surprised.
It felt a lot quicker than normal, I can only assume it was the cold air. I was back down to 1.5ish bar but it felt proper quick. Any1 else notice this? I would have thought it helps in my car more than most due to where the engine is but damn it was fun. |
My old ST220 was always much crisper / more responsive on the cold frosty mornings..
I imagine it's much more noticable on a forced induction engine as the charge temps are so much lower and poeple spend thousands on intercoolers, charge coolers etc to try and get the same effect.. |
its simple temperature drop.

Simple science really dude....think about the ambient temp and time of year ;)
Best time of year for people with turbo charged cars!! |
I know it's just I've never noticed it as much as I did last night. Was quite a noticeable improvement.

I bet it must of been a right laugh in the 5! Always found that you could hear induction noise a lot more to. |
It was.
At 1 point I pulled up next to a fake escos at a set of lights, so thought it was rude not to turn the antilag on and light it up as I pulled away and took off sideways spittin flames at him lol. |
You should try driving around Snowdonia in North Wales at this time of year.....well, anytime of year really since its always cold! A turbo car's dream! :lol:

Didn't notice anything better about the Mondeo's power coming home from work last night :cry:

When it was proper cold last week my st170 wasn't working hard enough at 70mph to keep the temperature up. The engine temp was about 1/3 (so i guess thats 60 degrees) and if i turned the blowers up it dropped even more, mental!
