Break in for 1LE
I was wondering what the break-in requirements are for the 1le. Or some things that you guys did (personal preference to baby your car). Are there certain things to look out for the first couple of miles? And any "necessary" things to get for the car (besides rock guards) to maintain/take care of it.
also my first manual v8 car, so any tips or tricks would be greatly appreciated |

It's written in the owners manual, along with several other explanations about different driving modes and servicing.

Thinly veiled need for attention and validation when all you seek is right in front of you. #RTFM

The manual lays it out (common sense), also address the bedding in of the brake pads that should keep you busy for a few hours.

I was easy on it for about 500 miles (the first 250 Miles were driving it home), after that, I started driving it the way I plan on normally driving it... hard acceleration and near redline sometimes, mellow others.
I never did anything special with the brakes, just use as needed. When I track it this spring, I will do a bedding process before.

Starting and Operating
New Vehicle Break-In Caution Follow these recommended guidelines during the first 2 414 km (1,500 mi) of driving this vehicle. Parts have a break-in period and performance will be better in the long run. . Avoid full throttle starts and abrupt stops. . Do not exceed 4000 engine rpm. . Avoid driving at any one constant speed, fast or slow. . Do not drive above 129 km/h (80 mph). . Avoid downshifting to brake or slow the vehicle when the engine speed will exceed 4000 rpm. (Continued) Caution (Continued) . Do not let the engine labor. Never lug the engine in high gear at low speeds. With a manual transmission, shift to the next lower gear. This rule applies at all times, not just during the break-in period. . Do not participate in racing events, sport driving schools, or similar activities during this break-in period. . Check engine oil with every refueling and add if necessary. Oil and fuel consumption may be higher than normal during the first 2 414 km (1,500 mi). . To break in new tires, drive at moderate speeds and avoid hard cornering for the first 322 km (200 mi). New tires do not have maximum traction and may tend to slip.
