Personally, I think the lizard green stitching looks amazing, but only on certain neutral colors like silver, grey, black, and white, and obviously any green exterior, which is no longer available on the T. Might pass with racing yellow exterior as well.

From my understanding, the biggest reason for a break-in period is to break in the engine, AND the transmission. We also need to bead the breaks.
I have a suspicion it's hard on the Transmission not just the engine, if you go pedal to the metal right out of the dealership. Of course, we don't have concrete evidence that it helps, or harms to do a break-in period or not.
What we do have is a manual that tells us to do a break-in period.
As people here have said, the Break period might be a way to make sure we don't kill ourselves in a brand-new sports car, and get used to the car's power and handling at low RPMs, but that is again just speculation.
Porsche Experience Center Atlanta does an even harder break-in than any of us For all cars, they do 0-0-500 mile break-ins, on the track, and then they beat them up on the track. They have yet to have had a single one have an issue from the hard break-in in the 15 years from who I talked to had worked there.
So It is up to you, to
Do the Porsche Guru break-in,
Do the factory break-in,
Do no break-in,
Or never run your car over 5k RPMs (even though it would be a shame).
At the end of the day, for everyone reading this and wondering how to break in the car. It is your car. Do what YOU feel most comfortable doing.
Just remember it is a sports car built with the track in mind, so it is robust. I will always vote for the Porsche Guru's Break-in. (If you still cannot decide )

It was made for GT cars originally, but that was when the R or something came out. Where it had very special break-in instructions.
Break-ins on the GT3 992 were fewer miles, and I am pretty sure you had access to the rev range up to 7000, but there was a limiter till the miles reached 900 or something.
It will not hurt your engine to do this break-in.

There's a few pics of those on this very thread, but not easy to find because you'd have to sift through 1400+ pages and over 21k posts and sadly, the search function doesn't do a very good job of finding actual photos.

@Scott P I just got a numeric short shifter, Porsche of Albuquerque installed it and it does not void my warranty. for the installation and part it totaled 1k. I got a sport shifters shift ****, and installed it my self, so if anyone needs help with that I have a video showing how easy it is to replace.

My dad and I on all our Porsches have done this. We never get oil leaking out, the engine seems to have a better response, and what happens is an almost negligible gain after break-in, probably because the friction is less than when new right out of the factory.
