Dang that was fun (cold weather rules!)

Sweet. Just went for a cold weather joyride (outside temp gauge read 38-degF). MAN does the car pull good when it's cold! Squeals the tires when it hits VTEC in 1st gear and then SCREAMS through the gears . Too bad I couldn't find that EVO VIII I saw driving around. I should come up here where the weather is cooler more often!... stupid warm southern California :P

you really can't drive fast on cold weather because you have to look for ice and snow.
even it's dry, there are chanks of salt all over.
i just hate ohio.

Oh I know... I just wanted to play . Not from a stoplight obviously, I wanted to see how good I could do from a roll. I think I could stay with it (if it's stock)

Cold air does wonders for performance. Take an 80 degree, windless day, set the power for 2,500 rpm (that is near flat out in an airplane), and the airspeed reads 120 knots.

The exact, same power setting at zero degrees will show 135 knots. This is something airplane salesmen know well.

It's all about air density. The denser, the better.

Am up in BC visiting with my folks....

Can say I see a difference in running in cold weather since they f*cking have snow on the ground. Slip sliding every way.....

Is that all because of engine performance or does the denser air give the propeller more to bite into? Does stall speed also drop in cold air?

You guys in the west don't usually get to enjoy those freezing temps like we do over here.

Got to love those cold day/nights driving around.
