Hi Mark: You probably do not recall but all the Autobahn around Zuffenhausen are either limited to 120 km/h or full with cars. So now way the can go fast right away It is not so easy (anymore) to find a unrestricted Autobahn free of trafic to go fast. Around Stuttgart it is especially a nightmare (or you have to drive at 3 AM) - how do I know ..... Peter

Boy, is this a tired topic. Anyway, just for the record, if Porsche are so concerned about rev limits, then why in their own fatherland does the German owners manual say absolutely nothing about a rev limit other than to say not to over rev when cold (sensible advice at any mileage), avoid competing in Motorsport events, etc for the first 3000kms. That's it.
I havent burn any oil, neither have to top off-adding oil to the 3 green mark already, seems im doing a good work with the break in, in my 2014 991 Gt3 i had to top off more frecuently than the RS, even though at the dealership they told me the RS burns more oil than normally... Lets see what happens.
Drive safe...!!!
