Default Heat sucks

Damn this 98 degree heat...really seems to take a good bite out of the performance of the engine...everything is just a little more sluggish in heat like this. Tell me I'm not the only one that notices this.

Higher temps, more humidity and lower barometric pressure all result in less power output from any combustion engine. And 98* is like a cool summer evening around here. In mid summer at 3am you're lucky if it's under 85* F.

really? In CA? I've just been to the Sac. area and when I went it would be like 104 during the day, but at night it would be like in the 50's and 60's..they had real low humidity there. It's like a swamp here though..at times

Depends where, in Bakersfield it can be 110+ in the day and 90 at night during the hotter summer days. Typically it's like 100's daytime and 70's or 80's at night during the high point of summer.
