  • Still in love!

    Hey guys! I just took my beast out for a cruise and I’m still happy with the car!
    Conditions where calm and clear, OAT was 3degrees Celsius elevation 50’AMSL and mann does this baby go hard! It loves the colder temperatures I can assure you that! Performs so much better in the cold and it actually scares me when it launchers and throws you hard back in your seat! 2 years on and I’m still in love with this car I can't seem to get enough of it I don’t think I can ever sell it!!!!

                I thought it was all in my mind, but this morning, it definitely felt like it had more go.

                  Does anyone have an explanation for this? Noticed a few people mention it. Something to do with how the cars inards/fluids react in colder weather maybe?

                    this is because when the air is colder, it is more dense and therefore contains more oxygen and burns it at a faster rate. In short, it adds horsepower.

                      Yup.

                      Cold air compressed by the turbo holds more oxygen than hot air.
