m5monster,
--I would recommend this:
1st.- wait 30sec at idle just for the oil pump to oil the upper parts of the engine
2nd.- start driving (as MEnthusiast said) a.s.a.p. to warm up the engine "on the move" for if you decide to warm it at idle A) it takes for ever, and B) the engine starts accumulating carbon deposits in the valves; but don´t rev it hard until the oil temp. NEEDLE has reached at least 1/4.

--Also, remember that not only the engine has to warm, but so the transmision liquid and the differential grease (I call it grease, it is too thick for me to call it oil), for which you have no gauges to monitor their temp. Here you don`t measure waiting TIME but waiting DISTANCE: the transmision and the rear axle need to ROLL for them to warm up (I guess about 3-4 miles would do the trick). So, although it is now safe for the engine to drive it to the red-line, the engine-transmision-rear axle system won`t perform at it`s best until the oil AND coolant temp. needles have reached nearly 1/2. (If outside temp. is below about 40F driving easy will only bring it to 1/3; you must drive it hard for a while to bring it to 1/2)
