Is my car slow?

These days I just feel that my car is slow lost power. So I did checking last night. Temp was like 36c and I put in 2nd gear with ESP off going around 20km and just put full throttle but no burn out or nothing. Next I put in 1st gear but again no burn out.

I was sad to see this but just thought that it could be since its hot so your tire grips more so no burn out? Tire is Advan Sport. Or really just lost power.

What do you guys think? Does all of your car can do burn out easy? I have DMS tune, double X Pipe, K&N,

You lose power when the weather is hot especially at 36C(96F).

Man, I ran with a Viper (SRT-10) on the way back home today evening & my dream of seeing him in my rear-view only remained a dream! It was a bit heartbreaking to get raped, and it hurt a bit too.. he could have at least used some lube. All jokes aside, I know I'm comparing apples to oranges but I think it's finally time to start modding (I will begin researching now!).

Please excuse me while I still try to get over the sound of that monster that blew by ('tis a fresh wound).

Btw HIRO, my car is bone stock & I have no problem painting the roads?

My car is stock but I did notice that on really hot days when the tires are really warm and the road is hot the tires will stick a lot more. Almost no wheel spin except if I gun it from a standstill.

I'm glad that people say its a heat. I do feel like a civic also right now. No fun at all. I think tire is sticking nice and just does not spin. I'm glad that its not my engine.

at least the loss in power is not that much for you all compared to the us (E55). the E55 just hetes the heat. On a hot day we can atleast loosr 25 to 35 rwhp.

I had a weird experience with this. Heat was not as bad for the E55 as I thought but dam humidity really put a hurt on the 55, wheras the 63 seemed unfazed.

You 63 guys should approcah the 55's on humid days lol.
