Question Should I be worried about startup smoke?

I m about t o get 93 FD and when it start it up it blow some (maybe like a backpack size )white smokes on a mild day about 67 degree. I know that white smoke mean it burning water/anti freeze but after it is completely warms up (in about 6-7 min), the smokes goes away. Should i be worry about it?? Anyone??


Thanks

how many miles on the engine? and what you should do is check the compression test.

My car has done this since I bought it 6 months ago with no problems.

Just drive it and love the power of the rotary, It changed me.

It could also be a leaky injector.
