This is how you break-in a performance car. Start watching at 2:50 until the end.

Wow quite surprised from the video, that's how we broke in our Drag race motors , but a street motor , he knows his business. I'm still glad I went with my friend Dales recommendation.

Yeah, when you A, have a team that can rebuild it, and/or B can afford to just trash it and get another one.

I’m at 315 miles currently. Most of that was bringing it home from the dealer. I just haven’t had weather or temps to even get it out of the garage yet.

Just don’t baby it. It needs to have some heat and pressure in the cylinders to properly seat the rings. Run it hard a few times to ~4800 rpm in 3rd gear starting at 2k, and then engine brake down to 2k rpms. It’s sort of like bedding brakes, but for an engine.

Lol. I’m with you. 2018 2SS M6 Hot Wheels 50th Anniversary Edition with 1475 miles on her! N. England weather, and a left knee and right shoulder surgery, over the last 3 years, have slowed me down, but this Spring/Summer, it’s cruising time. It will still be my weekend toy to take to a car show or for a spirited drive, though. Keeping it for the long haul.

My car is a keeper, too. Thought about ordering the Hot Wheels edition back in 2018, but decided the package wasn't worth $5k and red is the fastest color anyway

And I thought I wasn't using mine enough, just cracking 7K and two weeks away from 3rd year anniversary of taking it home!
Even when I part time daily it, my commute is only 14 miles each way, most of my miles are road trips, weekend day trips and such. I did follow break in, but had an advantage, just after lock down, I had miles and miles of roads to myself! First 160 miles was driving it home from the dealer. |

If it's any consolation, my entire family calls me out regularly about my detailing product arsenal for the "mistress that took over the garage" Oh, and when I told the opthalmologist a couple years ago how my eyes had begun to hurt from focusing too near, all he said was "welcome to your mid-40s", with a grin...
