does anyone else sit in thier car for five minutes while it warms up?
 

well, do you?

maybe like 30 seconds...

No.
I just ride it easy (try to stay under 4k RPM) until it warms up.

nope. I Idle just long enough to find something good on the radio and off I go. I also stick below 4k RPM until the engine is warmed (just in time for the highway onramp :) )

30 seconds is all you need, beyond that is wasting gas. The only reason for a stationary warm-up is to allow oil pressure to get up to normal. Just drive reasonably until the engine reaches normal operating temperature.

my car shifts better if i let it idle for a few minutes. im running mt90 in the tranny.

generally, about 30 seconds and im off. i let the rpms drop from 2k to 1.5k.

I just drive it easy until the engine hits normal temp, or about 5 mins. Unless it's in the winter at which point, I usually turn the car on and finish a 5 minute something before leaving.

I do. Until the temp gauge goes to mid. Everytime. :lol:

im sittin in the same situation.........literally

nope. i just use my viper to start my car about 2-3 min before getting in and ride easy for another 2-3 min until it's heated up. :smileysho




idk why i used that smile..lol.

nope, i redline in reverse out my drive way. then i redline thru 1st and 2nd gear thru my street. then i redline it down the hwy while the engine is cold.

bad alfy! :spank: haha

Really? normally i flip my switch, see i have it set up to spray liquid nitrogen directly into the throttle body. i figured if a cai works to increase hp then a freezing air intake should add more right?

I redline 7th gear.... Dunno what ya'll are talkin about.

Does anyone sit in their car for 5 mins while it warms up and play with themselves ?
Well ........ do you ?

Think about it this way....at least you won't get carbon build up :lol:

Do it all the time. It's great cuz it leaves time for a 4 minute nap.

:rollingla

1 minute fap, 4 minute nap... I'll have to try that. :)

Never, but I do keep it under 5k til it warms up.

I'll give my car a few minutes to warm-up if its really cold, and then I keep it below 4k rpm's until she's warm. She doesn't shift super smooth when shes really cold.

lol :lol:

...maybe not quite 5 min., but a good 2-3.5 :eyetwitch. And if it's super cold outside, yeah I'll sit there for about 5 min. I do it religiously...yeah, i'm sure it's a bit overkill..but this is the nicest car i've ever owned and I baby the crap out if it...unit it's warm...after that...GAME ON..MUUUHUUUWHAAAAAAA :FIREdevil

i wait till its warmed up all the way, i noticed that i save on gas when i do that. plus its less stress on the rotars when their fully warmed up.

At warm idle, my oil pressure is 25psi.

On a cold start, it is 75 psi - hardly any flow reaching bearings and oil filter fully bypassed. Not ideal for any engine, I let it warm till the pressure eases to about 60.........
