Did anyone have problems with their performance of their car yesterday. Mine didnt seem like it had potential in any gear at any rpm. I was wondering if it could of been the heat or the trip to northfield, MN. I drive my car a lot and i never had this happen before. All engine and no go.

High temps and high humidity = less oxygen in the air = less power...
Kind of the opposite on some of those cold, dry winter mornings when the car feels like it rips.
Affects airplanes too, they use a lot more runway to take off and land yesterday than they would on a winter day.
On the other hand, if your on the highway on cruise, the lower oxygen in the air will make the computer hold the gas back a little and your mileage goues up by a few. But yeah, performance sucks. Definitely not a good race day.
