Break in a 991
How many miles should one break in their car before driving it the way it was meant to be driven? Is there a preferred way to break in the car?

My salesman and the manual says 3000 km, which is what I'm working towards.

uninterrupted deceleration is good as well.

You can break into a 991 with a brick rock or a hammer if you are more sophisticated

If you use the 3000 km suggestion, that equals to 1864.11 mi. So you could start flooring it sooner.

On a related note, do people think the PDK or 7MT is better?

I stayed under 4,000 varied RPMs for the first 500 miles and then let it rip after that.

I just got my 911 last Friday…base MT. What's best way to "brake in" the brakes? When close to stopping, the noise is like a whistle!
