a friend of mine was arguing that new cars these days use computers to create equal amount of power in hot or cold weather by somehow adjusting things somehow and hot weather should not effect the engines performance at all... so i made a little video for him and figured id post it up, since im sure there are many that also think heat doesnt effect the performance.

 

Haha theres just no posibility that a car can make up for temperature of the air,whats next? The car makes up for being at 5500ft vs being at sea level ?
Good video though!!!

 

not a surprise, what did your buddy say after he saw this?

 

The only way an engine is going to be able to compensate is to bleed power at colder temperatures to equal the output at higher temps. And yes, that's as absurd as it sounds.
