Cool! So, like, if I was riding my 1980 Jag (@30hp) in Antarctica, and it was, like, -60F outside, I'd have almost 20 more horsepower to work with? Let’s see… now, adjusting for the extra weight of my frozen butt, I think the horsepower advantage would get cancelled out somewhere in the math. Not to mention; you couldn’t drag me outside to get on a sled at –60 (unless I was dead, and in that case, riding it wouldn’t be much fun… would it?).
All kidding aside, that’s an interesting fact. Is it the ambient air – or (I’m assuming) the temperature of the intake air?
