ORIGINAL: pascal

Was thinking the same thing.[8D]

Just picture a guy with an old British vert car (like a TR3/4 or a Healey) moving from FL to Seattle? Oops!!
I lived there for many years. It is not that it rains a lot of rain in inches it just rains lightly and continuously 24/7 for months on end with no letup. No sun and gray skies. The worst part is your car gets filthy from the wet roads. Seattle has the highest suicide rate in the nation. But when the rain finally stops it is beautiful place.

Do supercharged cars make more power during cold weather?

I have a horrible creak in the corner of my dash. I hate that! It just returned last week.

Yep, just a few more weeks before it's put in storage. Those are the worst five months of the year.

there was another thread on this topic just a day or two ago. they included a calculator where you could calculate how much hp you would gain. i remember in chicago, with 30" of pressure, 0% humidity, and at 20 degrees F, a car would be at 110% normal hp. that means on our 300 hp stock cars, and 30 hp gain!!! that is HUGE!!!!

look for the other thread, it has the calculator that you can play with :-) basically the lower you are in elevation, the less the humidity, and the lower the temp, the more power!!!!
