hey guys,
so as we move into Nov., the temperature here in Texas is starting to cool down. During straight ahead hard acceleration runs and during spirted driving around turns, i am experencing loss of traction.
Are the cooler temperatures related to this or do i have issues with the car?

A couple of reasons i can think of: 1 cooler tire temperatures thus not as sticky.. 2 cooler temperatures denser air more power?

thanks for the help.

I actually just noticed this waring on the dash today stating low outside temperatures

First time I've seen it I'm a new owner and this is the coldest I've driven the car.

thanks for the confirmation.

also depending on how cold it is, there's water condensation on the slightly oily road surface.

It's getting really cold here at night in NY and I have been getting a loss of traction too. After driving the car all summer and never having it lose traction while going straight, it's a weird feeling.

It's awesome! Our cars scream in these colder temps. Set RR Off and get sideways!

What temp do you guys consider cold? I haven't feel e power increase you guys are talking about. I feel a little.

I am not talking real cold 50-70 but that still is 30-50 degrees below my summer temps.

Ah cool weather, the cheapest most effective mod I use every year

once it gets below 50 its a whole new ballgame...if you dont feel it--your not in tune with your car...
