BTW, does anyone know or have any thoughts on whether a 'bump' start at sub warmed-up temperatures is less 'damaging' to the engine than a normal electric re-start?
My first EOC in the Black Widow (100 yards from my driveway) always ended in a fifth gear bump start at 5 mph at the stop sign (granted there was an upcoming opening in traffic). I didn't notice any extra wear and tear bump starting from cold, but then again, my car was an old beater that lived for abuse!
