Why 4000rpms?? I have always thought it doesn't really matter how far you rev the engine during the break-in period (well, I kept it under 4500 anyways)...but everyone I have asked has told me that occasional revving to 4000 to 4500 rpms is actually not bad for the car during this period...that is, as long as you don't floor the gas... No? :eek:

At 300 miles I couldn't take it anymore. so sense then I've been pretty hard on her. I've got a little under 5000 miles on her now and I'm loving it more and more everyday.

I lasted for maybe 15 miles before I discovered the rev limiter.. lol

Now, I should call to schedule the 10,000 mile service stop.
