Perhaps more acurate to say your motor likes cold air. High compression cars are programed to pull out timing in hot weather to prevent preignition. The computer is allowing more timing advance with cold intake temps and the denser air is read by the mass air meter to increase injector pulse width. More air/fuel (and power).

which is why a lower compression engine like the K20 is not quite as drastic in hot vs. cold.

my car loves the cold.......well...my turbo does more lol... and luckily, and weird at the same time, my car does NOT bog anymore ever since i've gone turbo. to have ac on and 100 degrees out, the car just goes without bogging thanks to the push of the turbo
