I have had plenty of different cars and they all feel faster when the weather is colder, but the S2k takes this to a whole new level. I store the S for the winter, so I don't drive it when it is to cold out except for this time of the year and early spring (except not so much in the spring because the roads are usually salt covered still).

I had it out tonight and it is below 50 here, and I just cannot get over how much faster it feels. I would like to dyno it and see if it really IS making more hp, I mean it feels like 10 more whp.

Does anyone else notice this??

 

i havent noticed it much with the S yet but I remember my old RSX type S feeling like that

 

Mine is the same way, once it gets 30 degrees here i can feel it move out.

 

the power of cold air?

 

colder air is denser, and contains more oxygen (thus, a better combustion). You actually ARE getting more power. (i think?)


I personally feel like my S hates the cold. The car feels a little more ragged. The shifter feels a little clunky, and it just sounds like its hating life (lol). But yeah, its def faster in the cold. 50f is the sweet spot because its cool enough to feel a difference, but the road still offers some usable grip, so enjoy!

 

i noticed this in a turbo vr6.

 

Sure the s loves the colder denser air, but confucius say

beware cold tires or you spin like washing machine

 

It definitely loves to go more (if that's possible) in sub-60 degree weather.

 

Man I wanna get out of Florida..
