Yeah, it's funny how fast these 3V's heatsoak. Makes a big difference in output. Some guy on here last summer was complaining that his GT500 felt like it had lost over 1/2 it's power in the summer heat. He thought something was wrong with the SC/boost level .

Still learning the ropes!

Thanks again everyone

At least summer heat = traction.

Lol, yeah I guess for you guys up in the great white north. I can count on one hand how many times it got below a 60 degree high all winter long here in austin. And it never dipped below 25 on the low side. I'm a cold weather kind of guy and we didn't even have a winter this year. I guess that's a good thing

We'll be dealing with 110+ weather on a daily basis here very soon. One month last summer we had 28 days of 110+ heat.

Yeah that's a bit much even for me. I hate the winters. CA has the best weather.

Used to spend a month in Phoenix every summer. 122 degrees one day. Screw that man.

sorry to get off topic on thread but yeah, went to a conference in Phoenix last summer and it was so f-in HOT, even at NIGHT! No breeze at all just DEAD HEAT. And those creepy orange lights everywhere at night. First thing I asked is why they have all those creepy orange colored lights... something about an observatory in the area. I couldn't live in that place.

I lived in Scottsdale, AZ for 4 years, and it was great honestly. It sounds crazy, but you do get used to the heat somewhat. Its hot as hell for a couple months of the year, and the other several months its mild temperatures with sunny skies EVERY DAY. You don't bother watching the weather when you live in Phoenix, because its going to be sunny the next day almost guaranteed. To me, its really no different than living somewhere in the midwest where you freeze your **** off for 3 months. The only difference is the heat vs the cold for those 3 months, and the fact that Phoenix has better weather the other 9 months of the year...

I'd move back there in a heartbeat, there is all sorts of cool stuff to go see in the state... But this is OT, so I digress.

up where I like in the big AK, the winters are pretty mild.. it's the night that gets to ya. Go to bed when it's dark, wake up when it's dark- sunlight for only a few hours then it's dark again. The skies aren't blue at night when it snows either, it's pitch bright red. In the summer the sun NEVER sets... it'll look like it's the typical evening time at 3 am. It's weird because it's literally bright out 24-7..
