Question about oil warming time on startup

I'm pretty sure you would, as the starter doesn't engage otherwise. I'll go try it really quick and post back.

So to confirm, if you hold the clutch and the gas pedal to the floor and press the start button the BRZ limited.. It will turn over until you press the button again. It may turn off if you let the clutch go as well, but I just pressed the button to stop it.

On average, anywhere from 10 minutes total driving to never.

The key here is, with the right grade of oil you shouldn't need to worry about oil temps once coolant hits the proper temperature range. That usually is around 80C on coolant.
