hulk xr6t Member 160 Member For: 17y 6m 8d Posted 17/04/08 02:58 AM Share Posted 17/04/08 02:58 AM Hi,My XR6T, If I start it up in the garage, let it warm up for 10 minutes and then take it out for a drive...The car just goes like a rocket, spools up so quickly, its an auto and has almost immediate boost off takeoff. Just a rocket ship. comes on boost super hard and super early too...Then after driving it for a while, the car still goes as hard but spools up a little slower, off the mark acceleration isnt as good until boost comes on...Im thinking... When I first drive it the car is fully warmed up so is it the heat soak that brings the car down to earth again? Or does the transmission heat up a little? Does the intercooler get a little hot and doesnt cool as well as it does starting it from cold. Maybe the oil heats up as well. Do all the pipes etc heat up and the heat causes a loss of response?Does anyone have any definitive theory? what can be addressed to recoup all the crazy performance from startup...

Sitting it for 10min in the garage isnt necessairly that good as the motor runs for longer cold...
