i would think the denser colder air would increase performance

Denser air is not aerodynamically friendly, oil is thicker at cold temperatures, more electrical power is being generated and used in the darker days of winter, tires are stiffer and axle bearing grease thicker. machines like heat to a certain extent.

Cold natured cars need to be warmed up before it will perform well, yes the cold weather will cause performance to drop, but just keep antifreeze and let it idle for a while when u first start it. If yours is performing too badly tho this is not normal, get a diagnostic on it. Good luck

Only in a high performance car, that could benefit from a cold air intake system will that help. Otherwise, it keeps regular cars from warming up to give optimal performance.

Colder dense air does enhance performance, a well known fact. But cold-wet-freezing air is a sluggish performer due to excessive moisture and you don't want wet for intake, right?

Its not the air, its the damp getting into the fuel/air mixture. It's common in most motors.

It's because your car is most likely non-turbo. If it was, it would be faster such as my dads Grand National and my cousin's WRX.

the cold slows the engine down
