Man, with 101 F my Evo was sluggish. I did not want to press the gas pedal too hard, just in case there was something wrong with it. Then I realized it was the hot weather.

Um Yes, I am in Texas visiting family. And without a doubt my car is much slower.. Reasons are: Humidity, Heat, Friction of the road (Concrete with 1/4 in. grooves), etc.

I live in Chicago.

Can't wait to go home.

When it's hot out you make way less power. It's a known fact. Turbocharged cars especially.

Colder air is denser air, more air = more powa.

Yeah I noticed it yesterday big time when this Mustang GT tried to race me. I was like "come on baby, come on baby!!" I thought to myself it sucks that N/A cars have an advantage over forced induction in hot, humid weather

I noticed it too.
My car felt way faster this morning when it was cooler.
Not to mention running the a/c probably takes a bit of power too.

ECU shuts AC off after you go wide open throttle.
