I'd love to hear the rationale from those purchasers who disregarded it completely.

I broke my 2011 in hard and I swear it at least idles better than my 2008, which I followed break-in to the letter and it never saw over 4,000 RPM until after 1,200 mile break-in service.
Agreed. Too many variables to encompass in the limited poll options, but thanks for elaborating in the thread. Your 2011 might idle better because of improvements to the idle actuator? I thought i read somewhere that some 2008s had a bad idle valve or something.

I like your style! Do it right, just do it quick!
