180 degrees is when I feel comfortable romping on it. That's out of habit and OCD. If Phunk feels comfortable getting on it at 140-160, then its ok.
yep, trade off with running a 0 weight oil is that you will burn some of it(more than you would burn a 5 weight oil at least) when it is cold(or so i have been told)

either way gunning your car when it is cold is just a bad idea
