that could be because some cars have a limiter when the temps are cold. For example, the S2000 doesn't let you rev past 6k rpm unless the motor is warm.I'm agreed on letting it warm up completely before going wot on any car. I did this with my focus st the other day and about 10 seconds into my drive, in second at 5k rpm the motor just lost power. let off the throttle right away. Nothing happened, but I won't do that again.
I'm a believer of just starting the car, letting it idle for like 20-30 sec and take off and drive normal until its fully up to temp. I've had turbo cars in the past and that's what I do.
Let's say you let it idle for 5 mins and the motor is completely warm so your rdy to go WOT the moment you start driving. But what about the transmission/differential? They have fluids inside also.
I know the CTR is a fwd but in a RWD car, the differential fluid is also much more thicker than the engine oil.
