If you want to answer this question, look at any operating handbook for a small single engine airplane like a Cessna 152 or 172, or anything else without a turbocharger. On a twenty degree day, a 172 will lift off in about 600 feet. Same load on a 90 degree day, 1200 feet. Cooler air makes an engine perform far better than warm humid air. Aside from sucking gas in from the bottom and opposing cylinders, the engines are identical to the one in your old car.
