I got out of the deaership, proceeded to the u turn and went 120 past the dealership...the first free oil change conversation was interesting to say the least.
After that I basically kept it under 4k until 1200 miles with a couple of pulls thrown in for good measure.

'09 with 6MT, Touring & Sport pkg.
I had to drive almost 100 miles to a dealer that had the car. We took a test drive so the car had about 22-25 miles on it when I left the dealer. It was one of the hottest days of the year, over 100 degrees in SoCal. I pulled over a few blocks from the dealer, hopped out and with a tire gauge that I had with me check the air pressure. All 4 tires were 45 PSI. I bled them all down to about 36 PSI, got on the freeway and drove home, varying the speed between about 60 and 80 the whole way and keeping an eye on the oil temp gauge. I drove it easy and according to the book until about 1250 miles. I changed the oil, and went for a 200 mile round trip mountain drive. At one point while waiting at a signal, there was a big truck in front of me so when the light turned green I put my foot into it, shifting at about 5500-6000 rpm. I was just slipping into 4th gear, glanced down and the speedo was almost at 100 MPH so I backed off.
I have yet to actually red line the car, it goes 0-85 fast and easy enough that I haven't felt the need to give it more.
