The fact that it's only sometimes worries me.

If I ever meet you and my back is to the wall, it's only a precaution.

Mate I'm sure you're well aware of the Fosters flop or the Brewers Droop

We've met!!, but you were too quick for me..

I think it's all in your heads guys. When you get into your car it feels quick because you have been stationary, then when you get in it and give it a boot, after a while you get used to it and it feels slow.

An example of this is if you were to take a slower car for a drive around the block, then get back in your car and hammer it. It would feel like it's a rocket. I think it's your mind getting used to the forces your body is subjected to while stickin the farkin boot in...

I just don't believe that if your temp gauge doesn't move, your car can feel slower after driving it for a little while...?

you have to remember that your temp gauge is reading engine core temperature - not charge air temp, as the guys are saying after a while your cooler gets hot and doesn't cool the air as much and you lose power because of it

Yeah I see your point. I'll admit, when I first start my car, warm it up for a min then drive it, it does feel quicker for a few minutes until everything heats up, but would it really make that much difference that it's that easily noticable?

*waits for a tuner to log on*

Must be totally different with tuned cars...?

its pretty obvious with stock or smaller upgrade coolers mate, the standard coolers suffer heatsoak something shocking!

Yep, its also why cars with the stock intercoolers and other under sized intercooler systems perform well on the first one and two dyno runs... then they start to heat up and make less power on each following run.

Its common to see them dropping 20wkws plus when heated up after a few runs.

Well there you go!

(Go easy, I'm learning here lol)
