Why my car feels sometimes slower, and sometimes faster?
Technical reasons?
I'm talking strictly butt-dyno here. Sometimes my C63 feels not so responsive, like it's taking its time, othertimes it feels more responsive, like a rocket. It can change in the same day.
Does it just have to do with atmospheric conditions that aren't apparent to me? Or operating temps? The engine/tranny computers in these things fiddling around as I'm driving?
I've experienced this with pretty much all my cars as far back as I can remember. And even this new AMG. Maybe it's just a placebo type thing.
Someone enlighten me!

Ya, I know what you mean, I feels like that for me to sometimes. I think it has to do with weather, car being hot/cold, type of gas, tire pressure, etc. The first 10 mins of driving after you start ur car feel the best, the engine's still cold, but once it warms it gets a little slower(common sense)
