So, no need to bed in the rings, to take off the high spots and improve surface finish to assist bore seal and reduce oil consumption later in the engine’s life, eh? BS.
You may have had no problems with your car ‘driving it like you stole it’…but I’m betting the next poor sod to own it does!
What we have is 2 sides and both sides make their arguments. Pick which side you are and follow the instructions 😆
I’m wondering how “broken” in are all the cars we see the journalists drive soon as the car hits the public? They do a swell job of staying under 4k to showcase the cars👍🏻
As noted somewhere in this thread, buying a car that has been test driven has the same challenges
My final opinion:
Drive it like stole it from day 1: ABSOLUTELY NOT
Baby the car all the time: ABSOLUTELY NOT
Drive normally from day 1: NO
Baby the car for few hundreds (700-800) km, then drive normally until 1500-2000 km and then drive it like a sport car: YES
I accept all the opinions and also my dealer told me today he had many customer leaving showroom with smoking tyres and no car had issues, but will I do it to my brand new car? No.
Btw. my first shot of my first brand new 911 at my first day of ownership :-)
Painted side skirts and Sport Exhaust for the win @Peter992 ! I'm gonna take it easy on mine for the first 1000 miles for sure. These things are simply a blast ! Congrats again!
