Does the cold make your car frisky?

I know everyone else has had REAL cold weather, but here in Florida we've had some 30s at night and 50s during the day.

I have two questions. Is it my imagination or do the cars run better in cold weather? My car feels faster more nimble and more torquey?

Secondly, would it make since that the oil pressure would run higher when the weather is cold? Lower temps mean lower viscosity but does that mean higher pressure? Thicker oil is harder to push??

Well anyway, I'm just enjoying the drive even if it is my imagination. See Ya!
