Loss and gain of 50HP

Yesterday 80 degrees at 8AM.
Today 65 degrees at 8AM


Damn these cars blow in warm weather... What a difference. I dont know how you FL guys do it. The C63 wouldnt be enough for me if it was always as slow as it way yesterday.

It doesn't matter because everyone has the same symptoms as you do. So nothing really changed..

Interesting thought.... but no.

I dont care about anyone else. Its not about beating anyone.. its about not feeling the car pull like it does in the cool weather.

Is it weird that I actually look forward to cold fronts and get up early so I can enjoy the cars in the good air?

Am I the only one who does this?

With your tune propain your car must feel like it did stock when the weather is hot out.

I am sounding like a n00b but :-)

Can anyone enlighten me more about the warm weather / power loss issue?

Is this common with all cars? Or is the C63 worse than others?

My oil temp gets up to 250 and coolant temp up to 197 ... what difference does the external air temp. make?

Lower air density, less Oxygen.
Blown cars really notice it.
