Summer is here Temp. 90 and CLS is slowwww...

Slower than those freezing spring mornings. I noticed that at HW down-shifting from 5 to 4 to reach 80+ is not as fun as before.

Yeah I have to blame the 90+ Temp. However, droping both windows and opening the moonroof is cool...

CAI doesnt do jack shit for you in 90degree weather heh.

If anything it just contributes to a loss of torque.

But more HOT air isn't necessarily good, right?
