LMAO, you serious? Come on man, it's just a car, treat it like you would any other car when cold. There's nothing under our hood that requires special warmup procedures! If your Z has issues with turning the key and starting in the morning, then you have other problems, it isn't because it's a Z.

And how much "carbon" do you really think you are gonna build up letting the car idle for a few mins? I gaurentee it's gonan be a lot less stressful on things then starting out in second from a standstill!

 

Horrible! Well not really, I usually leave it running for about 10-15 min, go back inside the house and grab something to eat real quick. Tranny won't grind or have any trouble going in and out of gears. Only gripe is the shocks on the hatch doesn't work properly, it won't stay up on its own, and the jarring vibrations from the road due to the suspension being cold. Oh yeah, and it does get really cold in the desert ~25-30* F, everytime I leave from work, every 6-7am.

 

 

Haha here's mine....15 minutes from the beach.

 

+1 on the shocks not working, i went to grab some things out of the back and the hatch fell on my head.

 

Oh yea, hatch shocks have really lost their strength and its only an 07 so when I stuck my tires in the car the other day... almost got nailed in the head too lol.

 

I was having the same issue as well, is nice to know that i'm not alone.

 

bahahahahaha your guys' cold is a warm summers day to me. . .

Drove my car up to Yellowknife last Christmas, stayed at a friends place and had to park on the road with no plug-in. . .

-64 celsius. . .sat for 10 hours, started up. . .didn't like it but it did. . .

let it warm up for 20 mins then drove home. . .took a while longer to shift it into 2nd then just kept it there for the rest of the drive (speed limit is 45kph). . .

talk about a stiff ride haha. . .

-64 celsius equates to -83.2 fahrenheit. . .

I still love the car though... even salted up... its such a good looking car.
