Default Can a car run too cool?

My car normally runs around 180 deg. I have taken it out on a few colder nights (50-60 deg.) and the engine temp was around 125 deg. The engine was running fine unless I hit the gas hard and then it stuttered. I figured the problem might be the car is not running at its normal operating temp so that whole fuel air mixture combo was a problem.

Anyone have a similar situation.

If you see a cobra driving on a cold day with cardboard blocking part of the radiator it might be me. Just kidding!
