That's your response? Aside from the fact that the entire post implies going over 4000 rpm, the point is that you argued to NOT follow the normal break-in procedure.

Regarding the specific rpm value: you're right, "driving as you normally would," without worrying about the "old tradition of breaking in a new car" clearly does not encompass rpms above 4000, notwithstanding the fact that we are talking about a sports car with a 7500 redline.

And it goes without saying that "run[ning] her through some higher rpm's" does not mean above 4000.

Give me a break.


To the OP: I think the point is that nobody knows (even the people who are absolutely sure), so do whatever you are comfortable with.
