Does a Z need to be warmed up in winter?

I will let it warm up for a few minutes (until heater starts working) if I'm feeling particularly cold. But that's for me, not the engine.

Edit: That's not just for Zs (I drive a Challenger now) - applies to all modern cars.

Didnt know that you ditch the 370 already.

Challenger is a nice choice. Very intimidating on the road specially on Black!

Got rid of it a while back because I couldn't find a dealer service department in this area that didn't have their heads up their a$$es.

Meh. It's a nice grocery-getter but nothing like the Z. They do look good in black but I have the doesn't-show-dirt-as-bad grey.
