How many of you guys let your (LSX) car idle and warm up before you drive it?
I always sit and idle until the temp guage is over 100.

In the summer I don't worry too much about letting it warm up...but I won't beat on it if the operating temps aren't up. In fall I always let it warm up for a couple mins.

I usually let my '02 car warm up for about 3 hours, or until the piston slap stops, whichever comes first. Usually the 3 hour period is up first.

'02 LS1s = diesels!

I let it idle for a few min, then slowly drive it not putting to much pressure on the drivetrain untill its warmed up.

I let it warm up if it's the first start of the day...If I have ran the SS during the day,she pretty much gets started,I hook up my seat belt,set the radio then go.Keeping the rpms a little low until fully warm.

My car doesn't know the meaning of the word "warm-up" unless it was sitting in a parking lot baking

And that's what most car manufacturers will tell you to do in the owner's manuals...

Good thing it's got a remote start so I start it up about five minutes before I go out in the mornings. That's usually the only time I'll warm it up in the first start of the day.

I've only got a V6 but I'd do the same with an LS1. In the winter I let it warm up a couple minutes before going anywhere, in the summer I just get in and go after letting it idle a few seconds. My V6 is a little picky on the cold anyway, right at startup if I touch the gas it shakes and shivers instead of revving so I have to let it warm up. My old beater wasn't quite as sensitive but it wasn't happy on a cold morning either.
