I live in CA and swear the ethenol laden winter gas makes it run worse. I don't have the real data, just seems that way.

It cold very well be , the engine likes colder temp/.but the two rubber things on the other end that have to put all that HP on the ground are exactly on the opposite end , not happy at all.

If winter would get here I could relate but its still in the 80's for some reason. I love how all my cars have behaved in the cold and can't wait to try the camaro in it.

Yup, this car loves the colder air. I notice it every time I take it out. It definitely feels a bit ballsier than in the summer months. Got to be careful though, as I'm still riding on the stock P-Zeros!

I think you can hear the change in engine tone more in motorcycles than cars but I love the way a V8 sounds in winter.

They sure don't like starting up though lol. She always gets angry and makes weird noises when I start her and she's covered in ice

Just watch how much you use that increase in power on frozen Pirellis......not a good combination with summer tires.

It also likes lower coolant temps for more timing. So I put a 160 thermostat in and changed my tune some more.
