46 degree temps make a difference!
Took my TTS out for a short ride today - ambient temp was 46...tires had about 10 minutes of running at 75. I nailed it a few times - but not WOT. She broke all 4 (Michelin PS2's) tires severely loose each time. G's felt substantially higher in these temps with the car sitting at about 100' over sea level
There is a remarkable difference in power over the usual 70+ temps. These TC'd/ SC'd cars just love cooler weather. It feels like a good 10% more power in these temps
Certainly a lot less to think about than my 1000+ HP FGT under power in these temps, where the only traction/ stability control is my right foot.

2. Summer compound is not very grippy in the 40s.
