Reason why the car drives better
This is a poll about driving and the driving experience.
Read carefully and ponder the answer(s) as you see it. No knee jerk responses now. Think on it. What is the upper most reason why your ZR-1 drives better when you've not been able to drive it for a few weeks? (does not include winter for those that are snowed in etc because that is a forced sequester) My recent experience is this. After 3+ weeks of great weather I've not been able to drive my car (traveling). When I got home the jet lag was too pronounced to take a risk. Today I drove it!!! Woo hoo. What a rush. It seems to corner better, accelerate quicker and pucker my butt faster. Now, why is that? (you can vote for more than one answer)

Re: Reason why the car drives better
Better than what??
More power... stickier tires... better suspension... more comfortable... ...than any of my other cars, makes it better. But, I can attest that in spite of that, my Z makes a damn poor airplane!!

Re: Reason why the car drives better
Nice poll Scott!
 I see we are mostly a very pragmatic group. I voted for "all in the mind" and the "other crappy cars". Although we all would agree that everything runs better after an oil change.  Tom

Re: Reason why the car drives better
I've noticed a phenomenal increase in performance after washing the car.
But, I could be wrong.
