I tried to do the 'keep it below 4000 rpm' thing but really just couldn't. I ended up driving normal, which for me means that I usually shift at around 5000 rpm. I did make a point to not drive it hard until the 1200 miles were up though (i.e., no WOT to redline). I did take it up to redline during the test drive though, and I should also mention that it already had 20 miles on the odo when I bought it, so who knows how it was treated during those first 20. Finally, I don't know if this could be a factor at all, but as I work from home it took me quite a while to complete my break-in miles (about 2 months). I think Mike took a lot less time to complete his break-in cycle.
