Yeah, performance cars really love the cold weather. My old supra used to break them loose from a rolling start in 1st when it was below 30 degrees, but not when it was warmer. Definately wanna get my car out when it's ass freezing cold and the roads are clear.

I haven't really noticed the torque improvement, but then again the forecast is for 86 today. Currently it's 83 with 80% humidity.

jeffbrig, you are very lucky! It's definitely not that warm here in WA state.

I can definitely feel the difference in performance of the car also. Last week, I broke the rear loose on a 1-2 shift at where else??....9000 RPM BABY. One thing about that though is the lower temperatures prevents the compound on the S02 from getting as soft as it normally does. That equates to being able to break them loose easier. The stock tires don't like the cold.

I keep mine put away most of the winter, but had to drive it to work for a week last February while my 2nd car was being worked on.

Huge difference in power in a straight line; had to behave in the curves though...scared sh!tless with the S02's with it being 20 degF.

And my knob (the gear shifter that is) was cold and I didn't enjoy putting my hand on it.

Yea, I noticed it last year. Feels like an extra 20 hp around 3rd and 4th gear.

You've got it backwards, sucking is good, biting is really bad.
