yeah the cool weather helps...but it doesnt really mean much when your wasting all the poines...in a ditch...because of SNOW, haha
yeah, i live in northern indiana, and this morning, i hate to say it...my car had snow on it...it was a real wet, not like a puffy mid december or january snow...nothing was on the ground...so that made me feel a little better...not much, but some

you think that's great, move to chicago! it was 30 degrees here, and damn...my mustang FLEW, especially when i just started it up and the engine was cold!!
i'd say like a 30hp difference...easily! it was night and day. that's why i hate warm days, and i hate when my car hits normal operating temp cause i lose lots of power. and if the a/c is on, wow....bog city.

funny thing about the temp though, is when you have more power, is when you don't want it or can't use it. i mean what good is 30 more hp with snow on the ground? i just wish the warmer it got, the faster my mustang got :-) or that the car did better at normal operating temp than when its cold.

IT IS COLDER BUT IN CANADA THE ELEVATION TAKES ALL THE HP AND MORE THAN THE COLD CAN MAKE UP. 500 HP @3773 FT IS A HIGH 13 SECOND CAR UP HERE THAT SUCKS

My car sounds 10X better when it starts w/ a cold motor; even the the exhuast sounds better. But its not any faster when it has a cold motor during low temp then when its fully warmed up. Its a bad idea to be pushing ur car when its has a codl motor; wot could hurt it. But yes; tonite i notice at wot i was blinding the truck(first time you hear a car blinding ppl in a truck) up ahead...LOL; when i first pulled out; my head lights were at this trucks bumper; but by 6000rpm the lights were at there heads. Then i shifted and they were back to the bumer.

i am PRETTY sure...you are NOT suppost to run your motor hard when it is still cold. Very bad idea. I am almost positive that the reason why my old car had so many motor problems was because i ran it to the ground when it was cold...almost every day.

I'm still hoping for one more warm day, but I don't think it's going to happen.
