Should You Warm up Your Mustang's Engine?

Read in a car magazine many years ago that it's only necessary to establish you have oil pressure before driving.

I start mine and go, but I monitor oil and transmission temps and wait until they are in the normal rangebefore I get on it hard.

^ What Spectre said. I have the performance package so the oil pressure gauge is right there at top center dash, and it can take a long while for the oil to warm up and the pressure to go down to midrange. Just keep a light foot on the gas until it's ready to run.
