Summers are always bad. Typically the exhaust would drone very loud, and the car barely has the power to move when I give it more throttle. However, something changed since the accident in March. The shop replaced a broken intake box, and that's all they touched in the engine bay. This summer is much hotter than the last, but I have not encountered the throttle lag as much since the accident.
All I've done different so far is open up the fang vents. I can drive all over the place in 90F temps with the A/C running, and I hardly encounter a situation where the car falls flat on its face while making a left turn or running across the street. Amazingly the car has been pretty pleasant to drive.
What's interesting is that the oil temps hardly touch 220F as well. Even if it does, it literally cools down while sitting at the traffic light on a hot summer day. That's weird because I don't remember the oil temps doing that.
Cheap mod... open up the fang vents. [shrugs]
