It will literally take my 460 3-5 minutes to get to an idle below 1k and everytime I shift into Reverse in the morning at 12-1300 rpm I cringe. My old 750 would high idle for 45 second then jump down to 750 rpm.
Is it normal on this car (or most Japanese for that matter) to wait about 30 seconds and then shift into gear when idle is above 1k prm?
BTW- the outside temp is 60-80 degrees, might be worse/longer/higher rev if it is colder out.
Thanks for input. I am probably overthinking this whole shifting during higher idle

Mine will idle high for about 30 to 45 seconds. I live in a warm climate so its usually not even needed to warm the car up beyond the 30 to 45 seconds. The garage temps will get into the low 100's in the shade in the summer and spring. Winter in AZ means 45 to 50 degree temps at night ( burrrrrr)lol
