Engine temp?
SUP GUYS! back with more questions.. how long do you guys warm up your car in the winter before WOT? here is a scenario, you are driving in 50 degree weather, for 30-40 minutes, and you decided to go WOT, would you be concerned?

No. Once the engine is up to temp you're fairly safe - after 20 minutes or so the oil will also be up to temp and WOT isn't likely to cause any issues (unless you run into something, that is).

Driving half an hour in zero degree weather means your engine is at normal or at very close to the normal operating temperature. At 50 degrees ambient temperature for sure it will be. No problems with WOT. Just mind you tires...

Thank you for the input, and my tires are soon going to need replacing, a lot more frequently then my 350! LOL!
