You might as well have asked for the procedures for ******** doggy style.

Everyone does it differently. No particular way is doggier than the other. It's what pleases you in the end (well the dogs too).

Me, I don't buy doggy style. Pound them from mile zero as long as the fluid's warm.

0km-100km up to 5,000rpm only

100-200km up to 6,500rpm only

I will push it to 8800rpm after 500km, it's so hard when all the GT3s and 458s are pulling away because of the break in!

imo put about 2 k miles on it.this will give brakes/clutch/trans axle and motor to mesh. change oil and go at it. remember those 2k miles ....you are getting to know the car too. if you go right from dealer to track be prepared to go right in to the first wall. people who say open it up day one own match box or leggo made cars and type from their mommies basement.

Unfotunately most RS owners who probably won't admit this will take 6 mos plus to reach 2k miles on their cars.

I think I read somewhere that AP recommends slowly increasing rpm up to 1200-1500 miles and then let it loose. I think the 2k mile recommend USA break in was written up by lawyers.
