Has anyone noticed their Redline preformance being less in hotter/warmer weather than on cool nights. Just an observation Ive made. Any similar experiences or technical insight would be appriciated.

I am no engineer but, it may have to do with the cooler air coming in thru the intake making the engine run a bit cooler and thus a little more HP.

Cooler air means more horsepower. That's actually the entire point of some mods like an upgraded intercooler.

turbo cars hate hot. They love cold. My quickest 1/4 mile time was still set back in February when it was 32° out. All cars will be stronger in colder weather, but you'll notice this difference MUCH more in a turbo car.
