Default for some reason my car is driving better & better

I notice my ride is running harder lately, since im driving it more often. I use to just garage it with a cover but made it my daily driver. But man the more I drive it the faster it gets & she wants me to push her more & more. I only got a little more than 28k miles on it. Not bad for a 96. Maybe its all in my head and really gett'n to know her. But maybe its spitt'n out all that gunk from sitt'n?

Maybe because you drive it more the engine computer is better ajusted to your driving style?

i'd have to say that you are just learning how to drive her a little better than before....either that or someone installed a supercharger under the hood when you weren't looking!

I believe you may be experiencing-------> better AIR! It has been cooling off here in Texas.... and in the morning lately my car has been an absolute beast!!!!
At lunch time it's still better than it was a few weeks ago..... but not as dramatic as the morning drive!!!

Cool dense air is a huge deal ..... supercharged or not!....

Just a thought....

Jimmy

It's the cool air we've been getting the past week. Tonight my car was pullin like a raped ape. It was awesome. I was lighting em up in second gear with my mom in the car getting on the freeway on ramp... That was tight. I'm loving this cool air. My car is much more fun to drive.
