most likely reason for any vehicle to perform under its natural ability when cold is simple. cold engine= thick oil + more friction + less horsepower. until an engine has reached its optimum temperature and oil is warm and not thick anymore, there will be alot more friction inside the engine making it harder for the car to run.
