Break In Period is Killing Me
Just pasted 1,000 miles in my first 6 weeks of ownership (was on a trip for 10 days) and following the break in rules until 2,000 miles is frustrating me to no end. Not trying to create another break in thread 😁.

I think you're good to punch it occasionally now. I waited the full 2k miles before I did a launch though.

Considering the 992 GT3's break-in being only like 950 miles, I think you're good to go.

I broke in a fully built motor in my Subaru STI in two days, no highways. I drove it up and down the length of the Delaware River from New Hope, PA to Port Jervis. I literally did it like laps. After the first day, we did an oil change at 500 miles and I continued. Proper aggressive break-in.
1000 miles in six weeks? 24 miles per day? You can do better than that in Arizona.
Heck, I did 900 miles in a single day in my 992C4S. (That was after break-in) It was not unusual for me to 200+ miles on a weekend day just adventuring.
Drive your car. Vary throttle and engine load. Have fun with it. Make a game out of it if you need to.

It has a warrantee. Drive it fully

Break in's are bogus. No need to save it for the next guy. You have warranty, you're far and away good to floor it at this point.
