We've finally been fortunate in S. Florida to be blessed with some cooler weather. I think the high temp' yesterday by me was 75'F. It's been a long time since I drove without the A/C running.

So, I got out of work early yesterday and had a chance to clean the car up a little, and then took it out last night to pick up some food. It was about 65'F and I stepped into it a bit, rolling on the throttle to about the half way point. The car broke traction in the top of second gear as the revs climbed. It never did this stock. I don't mean that the tires chirped, it actually fishtailed a bit and I counter steered while keeping the throttle at the half way point until the 3-4 shift.

The shit eating grin that was induced should have been carved onto a pumpkin!

Last winter the car saw cool temps as well ( mid 40's ) once or twice, but that was when it was bone stock. After I had flashed it this year, there was definitely a difference in how the car drove, but in the cooler weather, it's significantly more snappy and pulls nicely.

Thank you to Mother Nature & Wengerd.

I hit it in my car the other night on my way home from work, think it was around 50 degrees out, it felt so violent, forgot how it felt in the cool weather... love it.
