1le break in period?
So I’ve always thought it was 1500 miles for break in period. Then I saw this while looking up something else. Anybody have more info or thoughts on it?

That brake break-in seems a little ridiculous. Seems pretty excessive. What is the purpose of this?

Overall break in period is listed as 500 miles. But 1500 miles is listed as a required break in period for track/competitive driving, which is the same as in the HP Supplement. I believe it is to break in e-lsd (and zero to do with brakes).

"Follow these recommended guidelines during the first 2414 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. . 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 2414 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. . New brake linings also need a break-in period. Avoid making hard stops during the first 322 km (200 mi). This is recommended every time brake linings are replaced. . Should the vehicle be used for racing or competitive driving (after break-in), the rear axle lubricant must be replaced beforehand."

I wait till 500 miles to floor my new cars and change the oil. After 500 miles I drive them like I stole them. I did wait 1500 before I tracked it though

That sounds about right , but at 1500 miles i had the rear Diff flush and fill and switched to Mobil 1 0W40 for the engine.

My tuner (very reputable and experienced) told me that as long as you change the fluids religiously, you should drive it HARD, from the get go and it will make more horsepower down the road. Admittedly a VERY controversial topic...
