Yes, I have noticed that my FR-S does take longer to "warm up" than our family sedan.

I have read that it is best to drive off right away as it saves fuel and warms up faster.

Yes but don't wank on it because cold oil pressure is through the roof. That means it is limited by the tight clearances at all the journals and cold oil viscosity.

I keep it under 3K until it warms up to full operating temp.

It's not as tight as an F1 engine which will literally seize when cold but it's pretty damn close. This is not your father's Oldsmobile.

The block warms up at closer to the same rate as the cylinders because it is a water-to-oil heat exchanger. Without the mod, the oil temperature lags behind the water temp. Much more during winter temps.

This speaks to my last post. Don't beat on it until the whole engine comes up to normal operating temp, not just the water.
