Default The absolute best cheap power upgrade

Beautiful clear, thirty degree morning today. My car feels like it has forced induction! After a long, warm fall it's amazing the power bump that occurs from a big drop in intake temperature.

I may have to move to Alaska!

Just be a little careful because your summer loving sticky tires hate cold weather. They lose tons of grip and you may find yourself going sideways on that next on ramp! I've got a targa as well. Great car!

So true. Especially true in the days before traction control. I knew a guy with a 930 who hit the acclerator hard as he made a 90 degree turn some years ago. Same way he had every previous day that fall, but the temperature was colder. More power, less grip, and he ended up in a fence. Ouch.
