Just to correct a common misconception... the best way to break in an engine has nothing to do with rpms or speed, but with varying your speed. Try to avoid continuous cruizing at the same speed for more than a few minutes. Varied speeds put different pressures on the combustion chamber, and seat the rings the best.... Dont go bouncing off the rev limiter every shift though... take it easy for a while

 

I think if you "break it in" harsh you'll get better power down the line.. Happend to me I know after the first 100 miles I was raping the engine to death afterall it's under warranty..And for fact I'm just as fast as the 05 G's with the "rev up motor" Cause after about 3 differnt races so far I've always won by some margin. But I also get 13 mpg so there you have it.

 

hmm..i guess i always had the misconception that you should take care of your engine so down the road, it'll take care of you. I didn't think i'd have to beat the engine. It's a new car, so i'd assumed that i'd need to take it slow first, then after certain miles i've driven it, i can step it up.

 

oh i raped my engin every single day. shift 6000-7000 on first gear. and second at 5000-6000. third in 4000-5000. my friend told me its very bad for the coupe. i have coupe 05. is it really? i just cant stop to hear my engine and exhaust sound.

 

+1. That's the ticket.
.....and don't forget to be gentle with the brakes for the first few hundred miles too.
