Is Break-In Process Same for Every Porsche?

I follow my dealers recommendation. First tank take it easy and after that go frenzy. Always warm it up properly regardless of kms. The first tank is more for the other components than the engine itself.
I feel sorry for those going obsessed with some oil changes after 1000miles, oil analysis, increasing rpm by 125rpm every 225km and a yard, bolster protectors, clear bra, double bucket washing procedures, etc. go find a good doctor.
life is too short and you will sell your car in 2 years anyway.

I followed the procedure to a tee with my Boxster and that car was flawless the entire time I owned it. One thing I'll note is that keeping the revs under 4k doesn't mean babying the car. Once mine was warmed up, I'd drive it as hard as one could imagine while keeping it under that limit. Plenty of full-throttle action, just with short shifting.

Not much similarity between a Mezger GT3 and a 9A1 motor, so I'm not sure it's a fair comparison. Track break-in could be great, but I don't think you can draw any conclusions from your experiences above.

So how do you account for the high copper in the 10 GT3. All 3 engines on the same factory fill. Bearings vs. rods and cranks with the same oil. GT4 right up to 7k out of the box. GT3s held below 4k for 2000 mi. A problem with the 10 GT3 early on it's life with the high Cu. My conclusion is stacking errors between mechanical assembly and parts geometry. Sometimes they hit the sweet spot. Sometimes not as in the case of the 10 GT3.
However you do it I always get get the oil up to temperature before any med to hard aceleration.
