This wasn't a case of me cold starting the engine and just flooring the pedal. To clarify, I drove my car to work (an hour behind the wheel) one morning. An hour / hour and a half later, I was showing the car to a coworker and started the engine.

Without touching the pedal, the RPMs sat at ~1100-1200 for a good half minute. After that half minute, it dropped down to ~700 and I gave it some pedal gradually until the RPMs climbed to ~2500. It revved a little rough, after that I hit the gas a little harder and it would stutter and only peak out right around 3K RPMs.

A minute later and everything is fine.

Is that by design? (Sorry, your statement was a little ambiguous)

Thanks! I checked and everything looks good thankfully. My car has 63K miles, 100% stock with the exception of some light suspension mods.

Try starting the beast and then chill for a minute to enjoy the sound and wait for the end of the procedure before you floor it!

Yeah I apologize if I made it sound as if I just*floored it after starting it. It's tricky for me to explain, but I hope what I wrote above clarifies things a bit.
