Cold air = denser air, more oxygen, bigger bang.

I love the extra horsepower you get in the chill. You guys up in Canada enjoy that experience in a way, we in southern California cannot.

Enjoy the horsepower.
Enjoy the music.

I have a 2014 Accord Sport - Direct injected 4cyl with the 6spd manual. I notice a substantial difference in throttle response and perceived power when the temperature and humidity drops. More so than in any other car I've owned. It would be interesting to pull a couple of dyno runs for comparison.

Nice car!!

Hondas and manual transmissions, peanut butter and jelly, cowboy and horse, bread and butter ... perfect unions.

You have a 4 cylinder economy car which will get to 60 more quickly than a Road Runner 383, a Corvette 327 (not the fueli) a Mach 1 Mustang 428, or most of the iconic muscle cars, your Honda will out handle any of them, and run forever and get crazy good gas mileage doing it.

What a world we live in!

Thanks! 0-60 in 6.6 to 6.8 sec - although not blistering fast by today's standards, it's quick enough to put a smile on my face daily. The car truly has a Clark Kent/Superman personality. Quick when it needs to be, AND I can get 940km on 62L of fuel if I "granny" the thing. (584 miles / 16.4 gallons) I couldn't be happier. What a world indeed.
