370Z manual states to let the car run for 30 seconds before driving. This is basically the equivalent of watching the RPMs drop slowly when you cold-start in the morning. I do this in the summer, too.

OK, how about this: you have a long stretch of steep downhill in front of you. It's winding and takes you down a small mountain road into town. Traffic is going at 40 mph. Do you: keep it in 5th or 6th and use the brakes, OR, put it in 3rd and engine brake all the way down?
