Even without changing the jets, you'll get a little more horsepower,
by the mere ability to get more air into the engine. This will
slightly lean the mixture out, but the jet adjustment is a relatively
coarse one. (My WAG is maybe one jet for fif*** or twenty degrees
F...) Changing the jets will bring the mixture back into the proper
range, helping to keep the motor together and make more power.
Yes, you'll always get the right fuel mixture in our sims...
(Seriously, our engine model isn't quite THAT complex yet...)

That's OK, it's easy enough (particularly if your ISP will cooperate)
to summarily block all e-mail or netnews from a particular domain. (Am
I the only one to spot the fatal flaw in this "all spam, all the time"
business plan?)

You've got to remember that I come from the UK. Days hot enough for the
asphalt to become appreciably slick are few & far between here ;-)
Guess it's too long since I took physics - thanks for the correction!

Actually, humidity is a bad thing, regardless of temperature. As the
humidity increases the amount of water vapor in the air increases.
Water vapor (is not water droplets) is less dense than air. The more
water vapor you have per unit volume of air, the thinner the total air
mixture. Thus the more humid, the less horsepower, less downforce, etc.
As far as the drag issue is concerned, I can only reference the
relationships involved with aviation. The more dense the air, the more
horsepower, the more lift, and the more drag you get. However, the
amount of increased drag is always offset by the gains realized by more
power and lift. As far as automobiles goes, they are using the lift
(downforce) aspect, but I don't know if they gain as much benefit as an
aircraft wing. I would tend to think that the increased drag would
still be overcome by the benefits of the downforce and horsepower; up to
a certain speed anyway, as drag increases as the square of the speed.
That's why it takes so much more power to get that extra mile per hour
at Talladega and Daytona.
