Just curious why our cars feel more powerful in colder temps? It seems the torque dip is not as noticeable and just overall better acceleration. No complaints here because I love it, but im just curious what the reason is? My last car was the complete opposite. I also have a few thousand miles on my motor now so maybe its just broken in?

Anyway, would love to hear your thoughts. Thx.
