I certainly appreciate all the replies! I have been trying BillyK's suggestion on staying in first for 5 seconds and then shifting to 2nd. I would say 9 time out of 10 it works but everyone is right, 5 seconds in 1st feels like an eternity. I also make sure to let the car warm up for two to three minutes in the driveway before taking off.

I was doing some shakedown runs in my '71 240z this weekend as I was adjusting the front alignment. Climbing back in to the FR-S makes me wish I could transplant the steering and brakes from the FR-S to the 240z. Not to mention the AC for the summer!
