At what coolant/oil temperature you start having fun?
Like title, what you guys opinion on coolant and oil temperature before starting to have fun?
Before reaching the optimal temperature, at what RPM you guys keep the car under?

I wait until the oil reaches 150F and coolant reaches 170F. The factory tune pulls timing and power until coolant temps get about 170F anyhow.

Also, don't start and go. Give the car 30 seconds before putting it in gear!

The engine warms up fast when it's warm outside. It's never an issue. My last ride, a BMW, wasn't warmed up until the oil was 235F and ran at 255F. That took a long time.
