So much for Global warming. We have had a much colder than normal
winter down here with no end in sight. We have been dropping into the
20's almost every night in December and this week the teens.
The good news is it seems like I have 20 more HP, my car loves it.
Am I just imagining this gain or is it real.

You indeed are making a few more ponies than in warm weather. Just let the car fully warm up before beating on it.

Between no traction from the cold roads/tires and cold weather, my 'Stang feels like a whole new car, lol.

Same here. It hasn't gotten above about 35 for several days here, and isn't supposed to within the next week. I can't ever remember it being this cold and staying this cold for this long in my life.

And yes, the Stang LOVES the cold air....

Freezing my balls off over in Pinellas County, Florida! My car has a brand new clutch with <200 miles on it so far, so I havn't had the chance to really open her up in the cold just yet! I'll get there eventually.

My car has significantly more power in the extreme cold, and significantly less traction on cold pavement. Oh cruel irony!

It's called climate change, not just global warming. For every action this is an equal and opposite reaction.

There has always been climate change, an it will continue to change. Ice ages came an went before "man made influences". It's cold as balls here in Ohio, so I'm in favor of global warming!

One bad thing about this cold air making more power, My DD is suckin the gas.

We're supposed to get a lil bit of snow on thursday in the evening. I'm hoping so my boys have only seen snow about once or twice since they've been born.
