Dadhawk drives an automatic so he's not really connected with his car.

A nice brisk, near freezing fall morning with around 20% humidity makes these cars shine. I sometimes wonder if it doesn't explain why so many in the hotter more humid areas are more disappointed with the performance than those of us that live in habitable areas.

Altitude also makes a difference.
