Do sports cars perform better in cold weather?
They run more efficient in warmer weather too as the engine oil isn’t thick as it would be in cold winter weather. Winter air is colder therefore denser. The engine can make more power with denser air.
Are cars faster in the cold?
An engine has more power when it’s cold, yes. Do NOT listen to the people who tell you that it’s “more efficient” though, it’s not. The engine is using more fuel to make that extra power. When the air is cold, it’s denser and therefore it contains more oxygen per unit area.

What causes TSB on Crank no start when cold?
[quote=”JTF” post=118968]If I remember there was a TSB on crank no start when cold, due to low compression.GM said diagnosis lead to a compression loss due to sticking valves because of low detergent fuel been used at that time period. The fuel deposits would get on the intake valve stems and cause the valves to stick in the valve guides.
Why do disc brakes feel heavier in cold weather?
Mostly due to the fluid viscosity and seal durometer changes, the lever will feel heavier, and the caliper piston retraction (and hence pad clearance and lever dead stroke) can change. In our testing, the glycol systems were generally more robust to temperature.
Why does my GMC Sierra not start in cold weather?
Something similar happened to my 2002 GMC Sierra. It was very hard to start when it was cold or it didn’t start at all. The wrong kind of spark plugs. GM trucks really do not respond well to certain types of spark plugs, in my experience usually they don’t like platinum plugs.
