I have had a pretty lazy winter. I haven't started my car since early December. I was thinking it might be wise to pull the coil wire and turn it over a bit to get some oil moving before I actually start it. Worth the trouble?? Bad idea??? Any thoughts???

I just said screw it and turned the key. Started right up. Took it for a little ride. About a mile. I hate to say it but the car just really doesn't get it for me. Just does not feel like a refined sports car. I don't know what I expected. Sure, it's pretty fast, 370 RWHP ( did not test it on this run) but with all rod end suppension it's just rough. I don't know. Can't wait for summer. Sure wish I could afford a C5 Z06.
