Cool-Down?

After you run the car hard, like shifts at 5-6 for a while, and such, does it matter to let the car idle for a while before turning it off? I don't think it would hurt, but if you run hard, and then pull into a driveway and just shut it off, is it better to leave it running for a lil bit? just wondering if it makes a difference.

I wouldnt hurt to just turn if off but, after a hard run on the way home it would be good to take it easy to let that time be a cool down like period so when you get in you can just turn it off and go in.

Lol turbo timer fix that problem right up, you could then power all the way home or to work jump out, and have it run for say 30secs to 1min and then shutdown. Just a generic turbo timers enough.
