After seeing the many threads about max RPM for break-in I decided to work out a proper mathmatical formula based on volumes of real-life, scientiffically garnered data. Here it is:
Think of a number between 1 and 50.
Double it.
Times it by the square root of 32.
Add your age.
Minus your waist measurement.
Times it by the bust size of the last woman you fantasised about.
Take away the number you first started with.
This is rock solid stuff, no more worries.

LOL!!! So in Hong Kong they tell you 4,500 rpm, in the U.S. they tell you 4,200 rpm, and in Europe we're still trying to figure out if they even DICTATE an rpm!!!

In Florida, it can be 100 degrees in the summer, and 15 degrees in the winter. And am I to not wander away on a trip to the mountains during the 1st 2000 miles?
Nope, I believe that each internally defined Porsche business region is responsible for its own profitability, for both sales and service. Therefore, they each have a say-so and input into what the break-in procedure in the handbook for cars delivered within their region will be, depending on what their priorities are, and what they believe thier customer demographic dictates. Porsche USA obviously is extremely paranoid of it's customer's ability to thrash machinery right out of the dealer's lot, as they've published the most conservative break-in, in an attempt to stem the tide and achieve certain measured reliability and warranty levels. LOL!!!!
As I said a long time ago, these procedures are not handed directly down from the guys who designed the motors, unedited, untweaked. They are gurgitated through levels of bureaucracy and distilled into a final consumerized form.
You're not following the engineer's direct advice, you're following the corporate compromise. And there's no harm in that, if it makes you sleep better.
