Default How much extra bhp in this weather?
with this cold snap I was wondering how much extra power do the scoobs get as a result....maybe 5-10 hp in this very cold weather?
We all notice a difference with colder/wet weather so how much do you reckon?

not sure how much difference it makes in bhp - or is it just a case of faster pickup with lower charge temps?

been out in the scoob today to get some christmas shopping done, poor thing is filthy with all the salt and slush on the roads!

No difference in cold weather

It just seems to make a difference, because everyone else slows down or gets stuck as the Scoobs just keep on going although, it did seem to take me longer to get out of a couple of car parks than some other cars though


Cold must do something mine drinks like a fish in the cold weather
