It's all in how you setup your car to dissipate the heat & feed in cooler air. It's always going to be a problem. The engine bay stays hot nearly year round.
its all driver too... new gts are running from high 13s to low 14s stock. thats with a 5spd. im guessing thats what that gt was, a 5spd. no way the car is that slow. next, these are contours... they werent made to drag race.. traction is always going to be a problem with front wheel drive. heat does hurt ets.. ive been at the track a couple weeks back when it was 101 degrees out. everyone i talked to said on average they were 3 tenths slower that day then a cooler day.
