Good point.. and off topic... why would you warm up an engine for 10 minutes? most exotics are built for high revving corner carving(so they make design considerations such as ensuring oil still reaches various areas while corning at high speed and other considerations-they have to be careful to not allow too much blowby at idle, yet maintain enough pressure under acceleration) and I've heard various things, but it mainly comes down to engine design. For example, most dragsters can't idle for long or drive at low speeds, they overheat.. most studies show idling a vehicle for an extended duration, even on exotics, actually causes problems... What are you solving by idling the engine for 10 minutes? getting the oil to temp is most common. Run the right oil for the outside temp and that isn't a problem.. and let it warm up (via driving it normally) to get it the oil to optimal viscosity.. which is in the 190-220 range depending on type, but around 210F for w30 and 200F for w20... but the problem with idling an engine is that it isn't operating at peak efficiency.... leaving residue, carbon build up, etc... -and living in a cold climate like I do, there are other issues with extreme cold temps and idling an engine..which is why most people utilize an engine block heater, not that the car wont start, but the damage that can be done at extreme temps while idling. With that said... the engine isn't really what you are paying for with an exotic.. that's probably one of the least expensive components... as far as how inexpensive you can get a similar sized(and weight) engine to output that much power, you can get 1000hp out of a 350 sbc for around 10k...
