182 Cup
Someone recently said in another post that their car feels faster on some days than others. I also feel that sometimes my 182 seems quicker or slower on some drives - sometime even on the same day!
Now I know that my car should be happier running in cold dense air than it would be on a baking hot summer's day, but the difference between consecutive days is rarely so extreme and conditions are basically the same. I also know that my perception of speed will be different depending on what type of road I'm on - i.e. 60mph will feel faster on a tight country road that it would on a three lane motorway.
However I still get the feeling that it's faster some days than others! Is it all in my head? And if it is, why does it happen?
