YES! thank you

thats exactly what ive been thinking.

anyone could have told u that... same reason i refuse to buy any used sports car. i just got through my 2000km break-in period... and didn't find it that big a deal. remember, patience is a virtue

man, i would love to have my g on the autobahn, and be able to go 150mph w/out worring about cops

My break-in I drove automatic, and pretty easy on it as well...

Don't shift before 4500k (in the first two gears at least) then your missing out on torque!!!!

Question: Whats the best RPM to shift at to get the best shift?

on daily drivin keep it b/w 2500 and 3000 and the shifting will be as smooth as u need it to be. when u shift too low you will feel it you gotta a feel for the car and shift where it is most comfotable. in the break in period it is not a problem if you redline it a couple times just dont get carried away
