You can try this by setting max speed (for example, from an undock) and trying to warp to an object 90 degrees to your right; align to an object 150 degrees to the left and hit warp when your ship model appears to be at 80 degrees from your initial orientation. Of course I may just be crazy and / or delusional. Also, Ix rages about this passive align issue waaaaay too often. He scares me :-( If you’re moving in a direction other than the warpout, there’s some oddities going on where you can force a warp to happen well before the expected slow-down, align and warp at 3/4ths speed.

Moving away from the destination will require your ship to cancel out the vector in that direction before it even starts increasing the vector towards your warp-out destination.
