Wait a minute... Tiles on the roofs, galvanized hoops to protect the trees, methinks RPM lane is on this side of the pond (unless the pic is not of your car). And you would not be facing that many pick-ups where the roofs and tree protectors look like this. An errant MB S-Class maybe, but not so many pick-ups.

Gorgeous looking, tho. Hard to see, but it looks like its (done up as) a GT2RS. Yours? I may have to reconsider white with black wheels for mine. This pic has mesmerized me...

Can't be a real RS tho. Nobody would leave nearly half a million on the street. In the snow.

Until a few weeks ago in Northern California the temps were between 70-80 where I live. Right before this post, the morning temps were just under 50. It makes all the difference in the world.
I'm considering a methanol spray setup if it can simulate these intake temps more of the year.

I logged some runs on the stock intercoolers (non-x50) on various days.
when it was 84°F the IATs would get to ~135°F(57-58C) at redline in third at about 1.0-1.1 bar.
on a 64°F day the IATs would get to around ~118F(48C)
I heard the stock ecu starts pulling timing at 55C
