Turbo Season
I've been driving my old iceracer around a little lately, actually went all the way down to Springfield MA with it this past weekend. One bit of comfort I find in the cold weather is that nasty and brutish turbo pull we all know and love. Comming home last night there wasn't a passing zone I could use here in the hills of VT. The 50 to 80mph jump is eye opening to say the least. There wasn't much traffic anyway but when I did come up on a slower car it only took a blip to put it behind me. Happy Holidays Everybody!

Re: Turbo Season
I was noticing the same thing about a month ago. My 9000 Aero just feels so much better. So much so that I think there must be a temp sensor reading wrong which is why it didn't seem to run well in the summer.
The 195/70/15 snow tires I have on it now make the already-long Aero gearing super long which just ads to the turbo fun.

The kind of dirty that doesn't wash off

Re: Turbo Season
I think I have forgotten the last time I drove a car with boost. Keep talking,... I may get the bug to get my 85 900T back together. I loved the way mine felt on a cold dry day. My 2000 9-5 Aero was fast all the time. But just that wee bit faster in the cold.

Re: Turbo Season
my ultra gauge has shown me intake temps down into the teens, sadly no turbo joy for me.
I always loved winter in the 9000. I still miss that car.
