How close are you to complete breakin period?

I picked up my car on the 8th and have had it for a day and a half. I'm at about 250 miles or so. Just another 950 to go!

Duh I still have 1200 miles to go.

It must be pretty hard for you to keep her under 5500rpm at all times.

I've got 550 miles on the odometer since Friday. My wife keeps wondering why it takes me three hours to go to the store to buy another gallon of milk that we don't need.

Just got a call from a friend that passed 1,200 miles yesterday. He said the pull and sound is incredible from 5,500 to 8,400. He put the cell phone down on the ground behind the exhaust, and went to rev the car up. Most of the sound was just distortion, but I'll take his word for it.
