Yeah, I love driving home from work on a cold night... once the engine warms up I usually let it rip once or twice because it definatly pulls harder when its sucking in ice cold air.

Yea I know I love driving when it's a bit chilly out. Not only does your engine run better but tires don't stick as well. so for us guys with out a blower it feels like we have alot of power! lol But I wonder how much HP you gain with cold air.
I know one thing my engine runs a little bit cooler if I cruise down the hwy for about 5-10 min untill I start getting on it again hehe

Lol

SaleenGT, I love your car bro, every time I get on and see it; it brightens up my day

It's like, "I can love my mustang the way it is with some show and go.....Or I could turn it into a Ferrari/Lamborghini killer(@ 1/10th $$$), while looking better than them as well "

Dunno if that makes since.......but you know what I'm trying to say

I use the stock set up with the K&N when its 100 degrees everyday.

Yeah, cold weather can be fun for driving.
The 97 goes from 'blah' in the summer to 'that was fun' in the winter.
The 88 goes from 'NICE' in the summer to 'holy ****!' in the winter. Seriously, without drag radials, it scares the crap out of my at times!
