Every car should be at its normal warm operating temperature before you get on it, but especially turbo cars. When cold, the pistons virtually rattle around inside of the block, so if you put high cylinder pressures into there, you're going to blow your piston rings. The engine oil also needs to be at the warm temperature before it starts lubricating well.
