[QUOTE="USV8PWR, post: 13315841, member: 134833"] All cars, all engines actually, are affected by heat. I remember thinking as a 17 year old kid that my 6 cylinder SHO was not nearly as powerful or quick during the brutally hot summer months. My next car, 1993 Z28 with the LT1, was even worse. I quickly learned the bigger the engine, and the tighter it sits in the bay, the easier it was to become heat soaked. With that said, the 2013 Shelby has a much more powerful engine with a supercharger and it gets HOT. So there are no surprises here with the reduced summertime performance. Cars like this are a BLAST to drive in really cold temps because all of the extra HP. But then there is much less traction too so it becomes dangerous. [/QUOTE]
