Today has been much much colder than it has been for the last week or so, when i took the car out at 6:30 this morning it was a mere 11C or something compared with the 33-35C i'd driven it home at the previous day.

One thing i noticed is that my car (Seat Leon TDi) seems much faster in the cold weather, i understand the physics about denser air etc, but THIS much? the increase seems almost as good as the power resistor of justice (:p)Anyone else noticed a big increase in performance thanks to the cooler weather?

Maybe it was all a dream :/

Any car that is intercooled will definitely feel it on a cold day as the air is much denser......and cooler (obviously :p)

Ah there we go then, my car is an intercooled turbocharged firebreathing beast
