I wasn't "hot rodding" it..

That's the thing -- it was so weird because I was just trying to "drive
normal" (ie. obey speed limits, not spin tires, etc) and the car just took
off with very little throttle..

After things warmed up it returned to normal.

Sounds like your definition of cold is a lot colder than mine! It was 50 -
60 F out when this happened..
