You can jump in and go, but take it easy until the motor is up to running temp. Keep it under 2500 rpm until shes all warmed up

I try and wait an average of 5 min. If I am in a hurry then its 1-2 but if I have the time Ill smoke a cigarette and let it warm up for 5.

I normally let it go for about 5-10 mins. But my neighbor on the other hand gets in his gt w/ his foot on the gas and starts it up, gives it a few more revs then backs out and heads on his way. I swear he blew the motor this past spring cause I didn't see it for 2 months. There's a lot of guys at work w/ there cool neons and stuff that do the same thing!

When it warm out I give it about 30 seconds. In the cold weather I'll give it 1-2 mins or so. Either way, I keep the rpms under 2500-3000 until the motor is fully warm.

I let it warm until the temp needle hits 100* and then I keep it under 1500rpm until 1/2 way to 210 and then I let her get up to 2000 and then wait until 210 to do anything over that. If you bitch about it, then learn to shift, lol, this car has enough power to loaf at under 2K in normal traffic.

That's what I do. Nothing special, just take it easy till the temp comes up.
