On M/T rev motor to 6K and side step the clutch several times to seat the rings. On Auto's power brake the torque converter until the brakes won't hold the car still. At that point release the foot brake and smoke the tires up to 7500 and then shift until the car is well over 130MPH. Repeat until rings are set. New cars will smell very badly for the first few days. If you encounter problems with car. Do not call dealer until smell has subsided and car has cooled down.
I call that abuse and "one used car, I don't want to buy!"
