Strange. My book says 1000 miles for 4.0NA/GT3/GT3RS and 2000 miles for turbo/GT2RS. 2019 model.

Really? Is that for North America ? If that’s the case that would be great!

Mine is a US car. Built Jan 2019 - delivered to me end of March. That's what the owner's manual says... (1000 Miles, Stay under 7000 RPM, Don't lug the engine...)

Congrats on the .2 GT3! I just got my first GT car 2 weeks ago (miami blue touring) and loving it. I'm sure you'll enjoy the 4.0!

My US manual says break in is 2k miles and not to exceed 7k RPM. At 1200 miles after a road trip over the long weekend. I went to 7.5 a couple of times, but can't wait for the full 9k!

Will, I also went from a 2015 to a 2018 (PDK to 6 speed) and couldn't be happier!
Best of luck with new car, you're gonna love it!

I am REALLY confused. Which manual do you have? Also, can you post a picture of your page detailing the break-in procedure? I will take some shots of mine in a few minutes too...

As I sit here and ponder my Rennlist activity over the last couple of days, I have concluded that I am not exactly sure how I came across this post, but I do know that there was bourbon involved.
