Theoretically it could still happen, as various threads will attest.

If you do that, please let me know how you make out. I've flooded twice in a cold climate and involved with returning my 8 under the Lemon Law. I'm betting it floods, but for your sake, sure hope it doesn't, it is a beautiful car.

This has sorta-kinda happened to me. I don't remember off hand whether or not I let the engine properly warm up, but it was warm outside (at least 70 degrees) and it started like it was cold. I didn't get a warm-fuzzy feeling about it.
