Z loves the cold temps

svt to 370z · 09-15-2011, 08:38 PM

I know every car runs better in cooler temps but man!! The Z loves it what a difference. Today was the first night since I got it, that its been really cool(about 52 here in cleveland) and man does it roar so much more power than the 80-90 degree humid temps we have been having. My K@n roared!

There's always a down side. Less grip with tires.

Giggity. I can't wait for cold temps!

I hear ya on the cold temps giving more power. Problem is in Edmonton cold weather usually comes with 8-12 inches of snow!

Oh well, at least we usually have a solid 2 months of nice driving weather...

Mine prefers 100-110 degrees in Houston for 2months. It's been running great!

Yup, traction in 1st and second is a much bigger issue. On regular 70 degree days, my Z hooks up in 1st most of the time but spins through 1st and 2nd at night.

My Mercedes Coupe was a completely different car when it got cold. I was living in SC at the time and you couldn't even feel the supercharger come up in the summer. When it got cooler it would snap you back in your seat. And that was at like 8 psi...

I recently watched a Top Gear program and they were testing the new Porsche GTR2 (turbo). It was tested in the desert at over 100° and the driver said there was no power. When he called Porsche they told him it was the heat that probably reduced the HP by 80. When the driver tested it in LA at midnight, the temps were in the 60's and man what a difference. SO, heat is a killer to forced injection.

At what temperature oil/coolant does the 370Z begin to pull timing?
