Why spend $35k on a car just to abuse it out of the box?

That said, I plan to slowly start working my way toward redline at about 8-900 miles, and achieve redline by 1200. I don't believe in "okay, under 4K rpm...wait...wait...2 more miles...WOT!!!" That's just ridiculous and makes no sense, mechanically. |

I've got 4k miles on mine and I'm putting a GTM Supercharger on it so we will see how broke in it is.

Same here. Funny how the folks that built the motor seem to know how to operate it, eh?

agree. most probably won't own the car long enough to deal with the side effects.
but then look at all those posts about oil temp, people are way too sensitive |

My mustang 5.0 used 1 quart per 900-1200 miles depending on the viscosity used. It did this from day one after my mechanic broke it in by running the dog **** out of it for half an hour after it idled up to temp. Now, he's just my cousin and not my mechanic, no matter how many 11 second cars he built in the 70's.
