  • Ah.... cool air has arrived!

    Dang, what a difference cool air makes. Just something as simple as 50º ambient makes all the difference in the world. Yikes.... the 93Z's 1st gear is about useless.

      I've noticed the same thing. First gear is all rubber. I wish my car felt this strong in the hot months.

                .. it's spelled gnarly. I heard Orlando was in the 40's at night and the 60's, near 70 during the day. Low humidity as well. Best time of the year there I need better traction to notice the extra pep from the cold weather

                  No thanks, I've got plenty. As long as I don't double up on the doses, I can still drive. Can't figure out where 6th gear is on the 5 speed though. I thought is was there somewhere. Hmmmm maybe a nap will help.

                    Yeah, it was 32.5 the other morning here in NJ. 35 this morning and supposed to be cooler tonight. I'm glad I took my boat out of the water for the season 2 weeks ago when it was still 75 degrees!

                        It was 14* C(57.2*F) on my way to work this morning and I live way way up in Canada. Heck it was 19*C two days ago. Of copurse it was also -14*C(6.8*F) yesterday morning too... you guys dont even know cold. I've had to work in -52*C(-61.6*F) and it regularaly gets down to -30 to -40 here during the winter.

                          I gotta tell ya, that's just plain nuts. I can't imagine living in an area that is colder than my freezer.

                              Sounds about like Michigan except we dont see that low of temps...We may dabble a little in the negatives.
