Re: why does my car run better in rain???
Weird, Me and a friend test drove an Audi TT, and the salesman, (yes I was in the "backseat" if you do so dare to call it that) said that cars run better in the rain.
Me and him thought he was crazy. We thought the humidity would kill the incoming air.

Re: why does my car run better in rain???
this time of year(at least here) a "cold front" is usually followed by a rain storm, even if its only 5-10* that might be enough to feel a SOTP difference, at least thats what I think of it.

Re: why does my car run better in rain???
well...I dont know about the OP....but mine was anytime it rained...noticed it even in the dead heat of summer to.
Idk...I kinda always had this crazy notion that in the rain everything was lubricated a little better, so therefore there was less resistance and I was faster....doubt it's true though....

I thought those meth kits were only meant for F/I cars....would we actually benefit from installing meth on our N/A vehicles then?
