probably no worse than any other car. turbo or supercharged cars are more affected by hot/thin air than n/a cars. back in the days, rod millen ran an fc up pikes peak. it was a 20b turbo

"Humidity is a lot like temperature in this regard. As the water vapor content in the air increases, horsepower values tend to drop because the water vapor takes the place of oxygen molecules in the combustion chamber."

My 8 sometimes sits for 2 weeks even in summer months and still starts no problem, and I have the original starter.
So all you guys complaining about how hot and humid it is do you also complain how cold and dry it is in the winter??

My car seems fine, only thing I did notice last week when it was Really hot, was the fan ran longer after I turned it off. It almost never does that.
Hope it cools down a bit for track day...woot woot track day can't wait!!
