0-100 mph run bad on cold engine?

[Dar01]

I was just in this scenerio!!!!! My brother came over to see the new car (2000 boxster)....I knew exaclty what was going to happen......so I drove it around the block twice, made sure the temp was over 180....and parked it........9 minutes later my brother arrives......gets out of his 350z.....sure enough......he gets on it!

I don't know, if it were me I would think about it being cold....some people don't!!!!!

I constantly tell my brother not to drive his car so hard when its cold, especially because he has an air cooled Porsche. Dude guns it around like he stole it when its cold.

Healthy...No!

It is best to stay under 4k RPM until the car has heated up to 180°. So you could accelerate slowly to 100mph without any problems. But I see no reason why you would want to do that. I wouldn't want to unnecessarily beat on my Boxster especially when that can easily lead to a pricey engine replacement.
Just wait the few extra minutes for the car to heat up, then rev it up to 6k+.
