Does anyone's CLS seem to get slow?

Like after driving it a while in traffic. I've been driving my car more, & it seems to get slower in the mid RPM bands after alot of use in stop & go traffic, or after several full RPM runs. I guess it could be weather related too. The humidty has gone up as has the temp here in S FL.

Wow funny this is posted. Although I have a CL-P i just ran into the same issue.

Was stuck in very slow moving traffic for the last hour and once the highway opened up, the pep was gone from my car. It felt very sluggish and not wanting to move really.

Now I know why

Heat soak = when you're sitting in stop and go traffic, there's no wind blowing into the car to help cool it off so your intake temperatures start to rise. Cool air = more dense = easier to combust = more horsepower. Hot air = less power.

IMRC: http://www.geocities.com/gamesmgr/chod/acura/#Driving6

Unfortunately the better video that was posted up here a few months ago is down.

Oh, by the way ... only the Type S's get the IMRC. TL-P's and CL-P's dont have the IMRC.
