Default anyone else feel car is slow when hot out?

i swear i can feel a huge difference in power when its cold out vs when its hot out. during the winter the car felt much faster overall than on a day like today when its 70+

its a given, but i never thought the difference would be so noticeable. anyone else feel like their D16 goes flaccid when its hot out?

The difference is always noticeable. Ever feel vtec or not feel vtec when your car is either cold (@ start up) or when its overheating? The car practically goes nowhere. Heard Only Noise Didn't Accelerate

When it is hot the air molecules spread out. Cold air is much more dense. So when it is really hot out you are getting a lot less air into your motor, which means less power.
