SL 65 AMG and E63s AMG
cooler weather

I have thoroughly enjoyed our current cool snap in La. My motor feels like it gained 50 HP.

Does anyone know how much more HP our E55s makes at 60Deg F compared to 95Deg ambiant temp? I'm not sure if it's just colder rubber but my car seems to be burning rubber much easier in the mornings than in the heat of summer. I love this car!

Here is a great article about IC efficiency and intake temps vs. HP

Lots of math

'08 CLS63
when i had my turbo t/a and GN we figured about 1 degree of temperature was worth 1 horsepower...my .02 cents worth!
