Default warm weather messing with clutch

Hey guys. I don't know about you but this sudden warm weather up here has been messing with my car. She is not able to haul ass like before and my pressure feels real soft with this heat. It was fine any other day but as soon as it 90 degrees, my car just has never been the same. Any of you guys experiencing the same thing.

yeah, the warmer it gets the more hp we loose. in the winter we gain more hp. air molocules in cooler temps are smaller so you can fit more air into you car. On cool nights at the track you should notice times get better. warm air molocules are bigger and you can't fit as many air molocules into your car thus you loose a little performance in the summer. Turbos and superchargers really suffer in heat, while people on nitrious thrive on it. I hope that helps explain it a little better.
