Cold Start Question

370Zwolf

I noticed that my Z has higher idle rpms (around 1500) for the first 30-60 secs after startup.
However, I don´t let it warm up in idle before backing out of the garage.
It´s just noticeable that I can back up easily with no throttle (6MT) due to the higher idle rpms.
When I get out again to close the garage door, he gets some more time in idle anyways.

When driving, my own personal warmup rules to baby the engine are:
- no more than 2000 rpms until the engine coolant temp gauge is fully up (which happens quite quickly, noticeably faster than in my other cars)
- no more than 3000 rpms until the oil temperature is up in normal ranges.

Thereafter, I´m good to go except for still being in break-in phase and thus limited to 4000 rpms...
Looking forward to hitting the redline for the first time after break-in, but it´ll get an oil change before that.
I know I haven´t yet experienced all the exciting moves and sounds this car has to offer.
