Yup, I have found my Z06 to be very affected by climate, especially heaat and humidity. I wouldn't doubt it to be 40 or more horse difference. It is very noticeable seat of the pants. Absolutely screams when cool and dry fighting for traction and hitting the rev limiter real quick in the low gears. My first couple of drives on hot humid days I thought there was a problem, it felt that piggish and couldn't spin the tires. That much seat of the pants difference has got to be more than 10hp loss.
