Default Who still drives their cobra in the summer heat

When I first got into my car 5 years ago I believe I drove it through the summer. In the past 4 years I think I have left it parked between late May and the end of September. I now DESPISE being in these cars in the summer. My 427w feels like it has the power of a Miata, the rpms drop a few hundred, and the throttle response sucks. It runs like it has 200hp more when it is 50 degrees out. I guess I’m a wuss but I jump in the car anytime I can when it’s cold out. I’m in Memphis and once the hot humid summer sets in...its over for me. I tip my hat to you guys who drive these cars in warmer climates. I could care less about the actual heat I just do not enjoy how the cars run and function. I should put an 800hp big block in it so that it will feel like it had 600hp in the summer!
