Performance difference after break in period??
I just reached 1200 miles and I swear that the car feels more responsive. I babied it through the first month but I'm starting to think that there really is something to this break in stuff. Did any of you notice the increased feeling of performance after the break in period or am I just another excited driver???

I broke mine in easily too, and yes I noticed a considerable difference in performance after break-in. The engine really loosened up yielding more responsiveness and better mileage.

Don't worry about going hard after 1,000miles. I know a guy who beat up on a Ferrari the second after it was delivered. Its all in theory IMO. Though I did follow it

Re: Performance difference after break in period??
Ferrari, Porsche, Lamborghini...they all don't have break-in periods. And as some of us have suggested before, the whole break-in period thing for 4-stroke engines is probably just BS anyways...manufacturers still only use it just because it's the safest way to go.
As for performance, I thought the same thing about my G also, but I think it's all in our head. Think about it...during break-in you don't really go over 4,000rpm and the G's power really comes alive after 4K rpm...so you don't experience its full potential until you start whipping the sh*t out of it after the break-in. =)

Re: Performance difference after break in period??
I'm at about 5900 miles now, and the car just keeps on getting better and better. Even though the manufacturer recommends break-in mileage at 1200, i think it takes a little longer for the car to actually come alive, as is the case with mine.
