Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Warming up/Letting idle...

[Doug and Terri Anderson (dnt]

Ferrari and failure to warm up - ahhhh, yesh.  I have only seen a few cars 
that demonstrated adverse action when failure to warm was ignored - and all 
of them were - - - - Ferrari's.  Two 512 TR's (1 oil filter explosion and 1 
ring gear - teeth striped off) and the last one was a Ferrari based raced 
car at Willow Springs raceway - high desert - in early morning - 
Raraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh - kaPAM. Another oil filter.  Split seams.  Rust 
inhibition program at work.  heh heh

I always run light until temps  come up.

I hope to go over the 100K mark in this little GT4!!

Foreplay is everything
Let it warm up!

I never ran my 308 hard until the oil temp came off the peg and I had over
100k on when I sold it

Ok, since we are talking Ferraris today....

 What is the list concensus on letting your 3x8 idle/warm up?   I'd prefer 
to get in her and go, however the packed snow/ice on the roads are 
precluding me from that.  Secondly, I know that if I let my GT4 sit for more 
than 2 weeks, she turns into a real b*tch!   So, what I do is I'll fire her 
up and let her idle up to temp. (15-20mins..)  During that time I'll check 
out all my hoses, make sure clamps are tight, fiddle around in the garage 
and generally stink up the place.   I'll then shut her down and check the 
oil.

 If the ice would get out of my Cul de Sac, I could drive her around my 
neighborhood!!!  :(

 Thoughts?
