Exactly my point. I've drifted into the low 4k's, but nothing higher than 4.5k RPM. From what I've been told, as long as you're not "dogging" the car, drive it like you would normally as soon as you get it. After 500 miles or so, I'll start easing her into the 5's and 6's every now and then, but I don't plan on treating the car bad before or after 1200 miles.

Don't want to turn this into another "to break-in or not break-in" thread.
