Iv got remote start, so i usually start it when i start walking to my car from work, or in the morning 2-3 minutes before i go out to the car. I like to let it warm up because i always have to floor it to get out of my neighborhood or to get on the interstate from work.

About a minute. I don't drive hard until the engine is up to normal temp. Then I put my foot in it.
