It's 95F-105F from mid June to mid September here and I don't think I've had a car with A/C in 15 years. Sissies. 4-40 (4 windows down, 40mph) takes care of it pretty easily.
Although, in fairness, it is like 15% humidity here. 85F in Florida with 100% humidity felt WAY hotter.
A stock IX RS (with no A/C or radio....aka a REAL RS) is probably just barely over 3000lbs.

So I had scales available to me at work so I thought I would put the car on and try corner balancing. I did not add any weight to the car. I just made adjustments to the suspension ride height. I'm not sure if I did this correctly but this is about as close as I could get. I would like to shift some of the weight over to the passenger side, but when I tried what I thought would work it would do the opposite. If anyone would like to give me some ideas that would be great.
Here is a baseline without me in the car
Finished with me in the car.
If I could shift about 25 lbs to the passenger side front and rear I would be golden. Just don't know if that is doable without ballast.

The RS isn't included but still a good, real-world guide as opposed to manufacturer claimed weights.
