Seems slower - is it in my mind?

P.S as ambient temps go up, cars will feel slower.

I remember one day i was on the west side of atlanta in around 92 weather and the car was just whatever. But then i drove to the esat side, where it had just finishd storming and was around 72 and the car felt alot more fun to drive

Yes i concur with that statement, experienced this with my past cars. But this seems to be an itermittent problem irrespective of ambient temps. I will be in 50 degree weather and the power would be significantly less and the oil temps would jump to 220-230.

Definitely ordering the oil cooler as the next thing to do, but will this resolve the issue completely or at least help lessen the unbearable power loss? I don't know.
