NA cars don't see as drastic of a difference as Turbo cars with ambient. But I would say around 85 degrees or so these NA S4s would probably start to suffer more drastically.
I am basing this off my 15 years plus of racing NA Mustangs.
Thanks.
Thanks for the info. I ran consisten 14.0's on the quarter and was highly upset. I have normal tires and I had just finished driving 360 mi to get there when I did those passes. It was about 90 that day, and I still had my subs in the trunk (approx 70 lbs). I just wanted to know if that had a huge play. That or I just need to learn how to drive better.
