I let RPM drop to ~900 before taking off, which is usually 30 Sec.

Default if this is the case, then isn't it fine to let it warm up in the driveway for 5 minutes or so?

I think oakwood's point (and mine) is that on really cold days, it's nice to get the heat going and let the interior of the car warm up a bit before heading out.

I wait for idle to drop to ~825 (from ~1150), then I move off slowly.

RTFM is highly overrated.

Default Just long enough to let out the clutch.

Its kind of a fun challenge; how quick can I get going...

I'd say from opening the door, to buckled up and driving away maybe 20 seconds
