We've been having storms running through the area lately and when I was driving my truck home, I noticed that it accelerated much more strongly than it normally does. The humidity was up from the last time I drove it, but I called my friend who was driving the same way home at the same time and asked him how his truck was doing, and his was experiencing improved performance also.

I thought initially that the moisture in the air was perhaps the culprit, but then he suggested that perhaps we had a high pressure front moving in and the increased pressure was the culprit.

Anyone know why?

Did you have a strong tail wind? :confused: Could contribute also.

Most likely just the weather , I drove a race car for 19 years and there were some nights the track and cars were "wicked fast" compared to a normal night . Also if you watch drag racing they are always talking about the "right" weather and air conditions to set records.
