cold weather HP increase

I have a turbo car so I know charged engine make extra power in cooler weather, but the C32 felt like it got 30+HP on a cold night(17c). The temp was around 24-30c last months, but winter is coming and I can't wait to try the car at 10c. Anyone know how much hp increase we get for each degree drop?

2002 c32
I'm in MN and we had a big drop lately, and it feels like a different car (2002 C32) more in the mid-range and definitely at the top. ~30F-45F daily here now.

even on non turbo system...

My car feels noticeably quicker when temp is 10 degrees lower than normal. A lot more torque and faster responsing! and its not turbocharged or supercharged!
