I'm a strong stickler for break-in procedures as specified in the owner's manual regardless of what the "experts" supposedly say. I followed my 2000 mile break-in procedure to the letter before letting her rip when I finally made it past the magic barrier. Never had any engine issues with any of my past cars. My last car, a BMW M5 after breaking her in properly had one of the most powerful engines out of the other M5s I've encountered so I must be doing something right.



I agree. Until the gods at Excellence are willing to underwrite any warranty issues denied by Porsche because of failure to follow their breakin in procedure, it's not going to bother me one bit to take the car on a bunch of nice long drives varying the speed/revs, etc, etc until I hit Porsche's failsafe number.

As I see it, for me it comes down to a matter of patience. And where my 100K car is concerned, I've got the patience of an oyster.

Not flaming anyone, just my 2 cents.
