But that is just my opinion based on the numerous reports of heat-soak.

I'm betting it's a combination of both...after all...cooler air might boost power, but it also makes the tires less sticky...

If it were both, people who have drag raced for years would have been able to get a better time out of the ZL1 in the summer. The times are now starting to get good as of September.

Not necessarily...Those people would need the cool air to return hero times as we're now seeing. But there's also a learning curve to content with. Unfortunately, many "experts" aren't...

But I digress...I was speaking mostly about those who haven't raced for years. Sorry, I didn't make that clear. They are definitely now benefitting the longer they have to practice and become comfortable with the car, wouldn't you agree?
