Same here. Let the revs drop, takes maybe 30 seconds. I do that year round.

Then while going light on the throttle I usually shift under 2500 RPMs for a couple miles and then keep it under 3k RPMs until the engine reaches operating temp.

All I know is what I do wont hurt the car, but driving hard after cold start certainly could.
