no not 20 minutes, more like however long it takes me buckle up adjust mirrors, plug in the V1, maybe wipe the inside of my plastic rear window. The iddle usually comes down from slightly above 1000 RPM to idling just below 1000 in a matter of 3-5 minutes depending on how cold the weather is. Some days up here in NY/NJ this winter when it was 12-15 degrees farenheit I definitely waited at least five minutes before putting my Boxster in gear.
Turning on the ignition when its 20 degrees below freezing and imediately dropping the car into first gear sounds crazzzzy to me.
But if that's what Porsche recommends I'll do as they say.
