Oh man, cool weather plus my ClS = HAPPY

Since it's been in the 60's & 50 at night here in South FL this weekend which is rare! I just love how my CLS drives. I forgot it had so much power. I was loving it all weekend! Sucks driving in hot & humid weather most of the year

You should head north and feel the performance gain when it’s in the mid 30’s and about 20% humidity (basically very dry in meteorology terms). I’m totally stock (6sp) and it’s noticeably different in the crisp cool air vs. the summer 80 degrees. Where you are you may have to travel a little north to feel the real crisp dry air. Oh well, you’re feeling the difference anyway.

I agree. That’s why I wait as long as possible to put on my snow tires.
The car just loves these 30-35 degree mornings.
And seat heaters are getting used every day now.

Driving to work is a lot more fun. I got the seat warmers fixed just for this reason. I never use my heat.

Its been in the 50 and sometimes 60 around here as of late. However this week it looks like we'll be getting some real cool weather.

High teens and low 20's at night makes for some fun driving.

i guess since i dont race, i dont feel a difference in performance with the low temperature. 50's & 60's is all we're going to get down here (FL) but there's a bright side, we dont have to use snow tires...and we got SHAQ

Yeah, imagine the cold air up here...I bet I can hit high 13's with intake/exhaust/header/pulleys this summer on a cool day.
