Re: new car break in period
here is an article I found in popular mechanics a while back about new car break in. Just remember the ecu in modern cars (specifically high performance cars) will learn your driving habits. I've always heard to run it up and down through the rev range but not to really wail on it (power shifting, hard launches etc.), do a lot of mid range pulls, WOT is fine, then let the engine decel as well. This helps the ecu learn. Exercise the car hard throughout the rev range but don't absolutely flog it. I know you treat your cars well so that pony should do just fine.
