I can usually tell when my cars warmed up fully as the exhaust tone changes. I geuss it changes as it leans out the fuel when it gets out of open loop mode and the exhaust heats up .

Correct. Both cars take around 2mins max for that to happen, I just let the SS warm up for abit more.

i'll drive my car normally from a cold start and not thrash it till it gets above a 1/4 but i think for me its a case of the thermostat not closing properly when cold, because if i were to take my car straight onto the freeway i'll barely leave the needle rest but if i were to do start stop, it shoots up ( no flow )

hi, this is how i warm my car up.. might be different to different cars'....

get in driver seat, turn car on... flat foot till you hit the rev limiter for 40 seconds.. in about 40 seconds it should be warmed up.. this is not really recommened, but still impressive.

Impressive? I dont think so, u would look more like a tool doin that....

I dont even like to get me rev's up past 4000 to 4500 let alone doin it wen its cold....

I would be guessing that ur car will be blowin alot of smoke if u keep that up..

N/A as ur car so i guess ur just makin a joke....well i hope u are...
