cold weather=2 much wheel spin?stik6shift00 12-24-2002, 11:46 PM I live near chicago and its cold now, (duh) my camaro isnt my everyday driver but on nicer days in winter ill take it out, my question is that when its like 30 out and i gun it, even in like 3rd my wheels spin, i havent had the car that long maybe like a month, in the summer will i get alot better traction? i hope the weather makes a huge diffrence cause when my rear end slides out when i dont think it will, it freaks me out! stik6shift98 12-24-2002, 11:55 PM ya nittos dont help and the stage 2 heads wont either in summer it will be better.....plus it was slippery out today RS Dragster 12-24-2002, 11:59 PM Yeah, cold here in South Dakota too. I burn em up through first and some of second. Yeah, spinnin em at 50+. Kinda cool to show off, but sucks for traction. BTW, it's not that bad in the summer, you'll see much more traction. Nate Stangdstryer 12-25-2002, 01:05 AM when its cold the air is denser which means you are getting more airflow, which makes it run lean and produce more power. stik6shift98 12-25-2002, 01:17 AM ohhhhhh.. speaking of lean airflow ive heard it causes ses lights to go off on stik6shift00s car we ran autotap and came up with a code .......cant rmeber but one was 0173 and other 0141....maybe anyone know what autotap codes mean or where to find out what the mean thanks:bow: GrdLockV6 12-25-2002, 02:07 AM It didn't get cold here until yesterday, and before that it was in the 70's, and my tires still had no problem spinning if I stomped it up to 40mph... stik6shift98 12-25-2002, 02:41 AM well we're (me and stik00) are talking about accelarating a lil bit in frst and it spins....like we barely move.... at normal accelarting we spin like crzy robvas 12-26-2002, 11:09 AM cold weather sucks for traction. Especially when you've got Kumho's like me. I haven't been able to floor my car under like 80 since I bought it Black01_Z 12-26-2002, 11:47 AM Yup the colder it gets the longer they spin. When it hit about 50 degrees here a few days ago all I got was normal peelout that ended at about 10 mph. When its like 10 degrees outside the back end was flying left and right and left footprints about a block long and when they stopped spinning the car shifted into third and barked the tires again. stik6shift98 12-26-2002, 04:39 PM anyone know what the autotap codes mean | ||
