Hot Day = New Car??
Theres me thinking that the best day for power was a misty, cold morning in winter with the air cold and damp!!
Why then does my car today fly like a bullet??
No hesitation at the usual 3000RPM - just pull, pull, pull, pull!!??
Amazed (and delighted!)
Now, we'll get some smartarse saying that its the classic sign of a failing MAF
Also, my 'make believe' CockLink was not showing ANY lights whatsoever!!
But then, its not wired up to anything (as much use as the real thing then!!)

I had to fill up with normal unleaded last week and it was not pulling cleanly, occasionally miss firing etc.
Pete, perhaps you bought some decent petrol for it, for a change?!

I just love those who mod their cars to extract 30BHP more and then turn the AirCon on and drop 30BHP!!! Ha Ha Ha Ha!!
Maybe, mine, without 'girlie' AirCon was beating all the modded Imprezas because I had no AirCon draining my power??

You mean to say that you were so cheap you didn't even specify air-con on a new Impreza
All the best Impreza's have it. Good luck come re-sale time, most would chose one with it on as opposed to one without. I did

I have to say I noticed similar yesterday (MY99) - not good when stuck in traffic but on the open road it was a lot quicker than I had expected ferrying kids to/from Green Day at MK (Sensible overtaking only I hasten to add 
). Maybe there is something in the humidity factor.
