Default Re: sv and cooler weather

In hot weather a highly tuned engine loses power, also they worry about cooling. Obviously you can transfer more heat to air at 10 degrees than air at 40 given the same coolant temps.

The "dirty" air is the car in fronts turbulent wake which restricts airflow through radiators and cooling ducts.
