Matthias,

f[x_] := x^3 + 2 x^2 -6;

You can do half of what you want with the form 

PlotRange -> {ymin, Automatic}

For example, to look at everything above y = -8

Plot[f[x], {x, -10, 10}, PlotRange -> {-8, Automatic}];

You can emulate a form of the other option  (say everything below -2) 
by looking at the negative of the function and taking the negative 
of the y-values from the plot

Plot[-f[x], {x, -10, 10}, PlotRange -> {2, Automatic}];
