I am talking like normally it would MAYBE reach 2500rpms, now its threating to hit the limiter. The brakes I can put like 0 pressure on and I come to a instant stop. Then as the car warms up it goes back to normal.

Hehehe, your defination of cold and my defination of cold are different. Really cold for me is 20F, really cold for you is -20F. All I can say is my idle is a little rough (and fast) in open loop and my tires don't grip well at all (even on dry pavement) and the gas does seem to be a little more 'responsive' too.

I am sure that 20 above is balmy for yours.

Blast all you warmer states. 0F is still "cozy" in the middle of winter for me. That is only -32C, which we will hit as a daytime HIGH for like 2 weeks on end. In the mornings its more like -40C without the windchill. You'd be surprised what happens to different materials when left outside in this temp.

Talking

We got about 2ft here:

But where is the redline you ask?





























Hidding! Notice the winter wheels. I got the 16" chromes and the tires for cheap.


Then i took my nitro rustler out for a spin

And my marks...
