I have 3 cars and sadly only put almost 2k miles on my 911 the last 5 months. But I manage to put 16k miles per year on my work truck to haul equipment. And my beach car is sitting in the driveway with no love at all because I have no time for beach nowadays
Well, I drove over 200 miles today just to have tacos that were featured on Diner, Dives and Drive-ins. This week's total will be over 1,000 miles. Plan on another 800 miles next week Monday through Wednesday.
How were they? Do I need to go?
I got ahead of myself and now finished the thread. 800 miles round trip....I don't want to know how good they were,
I am looking at a car and the first owner put 9K miles in the first 3 months on the car, 4K miles in the first 3 weeks. Second owner put 5K miles in about 8 months. There are about 14K miles on the car now after 15 months. Would this be any cause of concern, typically mileage wouldn't bother me, but that first 4K miles in 3 weeks is nuts. I asked about a DME report and there is only 1 over rev as a Stage 1 on the report and the car has been certified already. Just curious to hear others thoughts.
Usually a lot of miles in a short time means highway miles, which are way less damaging to a car then the same distance in stop and go city traffic. so that would not worry me too much.
Pfff. I don't even consider a car broken in until 50k miles.
There is actually a LOT of truth in this statement. But it's a bit closer to 25,000 miles. If you look at my 5.5 year UOA history, you start to see the 9A1 motor level out for wear metals and then "freeze" at this mark.
That’s what I understand as well. I think all PDK transmissions have a rev limiter.
Even PDK cars can ping range #1 and range #2 over-revs. We've seen it here on RL. It's rare, but does happen. Regards, those ranges are a non issue, and considered normal on the 3-pedal cars.
Now, looking at the Launch Control counter in the brain is maybe more telling.

Better than a really old car with really low mileage. It clearly got up to temp !
