Cold Weather = More Horsepower but how much more ?

[Giant]

If the cold is helping your F6 that much then upgrade the intercooler and enjoy it all year long...........

There is a downside to colder denser air, but not that we will find at slower road speeds. All that density that helps make horsepower is harder to push through aerodynamically.

Living in Canberra (cold winters, 570m above sea level, not much traffic) + G6ETurbo vs V8 commodore =

Like shooting fish in a barrell with a shotgun, too easy. Wheels just ran one up against the new 347 KW SRT8 and it beat that too
G6ET is the ultimate wolf in sheeps clothing

I think its easily worth 20-30rwkw on a really cold morning, fog seems to help with wetting the intercooler surface, my temp logs always show a little less when its foggy. That could be a placebo effect, it just does seem to be a increase in horses when its really cold and wet air.
