New Owner/Member
I am a new owner of an 07 C2S and new member of rennlist. I picked up my car last Friday and now have about 450 miles on it. I realize this topic has been exhaustively and heatedly debated in prior threads (which leads to my confusion), but I have come up with a new "brake in" strategy for my car. So far, I have held the engine below 4,500 rpms (for the most part) and have gradually accelerated and decelerated. After reading recent posts, I have decided to bump the rpms up a bit, maintaining the gradual acceleration. After 1k miles, I'll start hitting it hard. Does anyone see a problem with this strategy?

The General manager of the Dealer informed me the engine already went through a break in cycle @ the manufacturer. He said just keep it on 2nd and 3rd and around 4k rpm for the first few hundred miles. Afterward, just drive... Don't baby it... The car is made to be driven.. He's right.. So far, w/ 6k miles the engine purrs.... I missed her for the past couple of days though, in the shop w/ some rattling noise.
