Mixed feelings about doing a 2,000 mi break in of under 4,500 rpm. AGAIN. Will go read the thread.. I Know. but dang.. Just drives me nuts that Euro has no break in, and US has 2k miles. maybe cause US has 4year warranty.. and just a legal card to hold.. So.... that would be terrible if it's just a legal paper work political maneuver. Think of the man hours they are stealing.. Hmm.. wish I knew.. -- do they pull up the ECU in a warranty claim and see if you went over 4,500 rpm during the break in..?? sounds more like a corrupt chicago way to grub for $...

I think they (European manuals) say to avoid high RPMs for the first 2000 km. So not really unlike US manuals - ours just spells it out more explicitly.

I guess I just confessed that I broke the rules, and my luck I get a call again tomorrow from lovely Katrina saying you have been denied getting the new engine for exceeding 4500 RPM, and your car will be returned back to you AS IS, for not following the break in instructions, and there will be no compensation offered to you if your old engine goes up in flames! Good luck to you....

if I had known that we will be getting new engines, I would have tried that launch control at least few times. I never really followed the 4500 rpm limit to the letter, but rather kept it under 4500 for 1st 500 miles then slowly been increasing the RPM thereafter. My car has 1200 miles and I think I was up to 7000 RPM by the time I surrendered the car.

we should pick a day and all send her flowers. bombard her office w/ flowers from her GT3 gang.. To the Lovely Katrina..
if she gets about 50 order of flowers in 1 day, everyone at PCNA office in ATL will then know about the GT3 fires.. and that we mean business.
