Default Cold Engine Preformance

Hey what’s up guys, I just had a quick question. Is it just me or does your SC4 feel like it performs/responds much better when the engine is still cold. My car feels a bit more sluggish as it warms up, b/c I have been able to smoke the tires off a dead stop when the engine has still been cold but I have a really hard time pulling that off if the car has warmed up. I don’t kno is this just me or have you guys felt it too.

Thanks

Tommy

Most cars are like that. Colder engine means a colder and more dense intake charge thus more power. Running the car hard below operating temprature is not good for it though. Lots of parts will wear our prematurely. If you want that feeling more often try adding a bottle of Redline Water Wetter to your coolant system. It says it will lower your operating temp by 20+ degrees.
