People took it where they wanted it to go, but it contains all the oil-temp observations that I made, too.

Why spend $35k on a car just to abuse it out of the box?

^ Agree with edub. People are free to do what ever they want to do though.

i now have 3500 miles on it i got it in may with 358 on it an 09. i have ran it to redline serval times. i think people look into the "breakin period too much" imo

Some do, some don't. I think there is a happy medium. There is always a safety margin built in for things like this.

That said, I plan to slowly start working my way toward redline at about 8-900 miles, and achieve redline by 1200. I don't believe in "okay, under 4K rpm...wait...wait...2 more miles...WOT!!!" That's just ridiculous and makes no sense, mechanically.

I've got 4k miles on mine and I'm putting a GTM Supercharger on it so we will see how broke in it is.:tup:

Broke mine in per the owner's manual. I check my oil at almost every fill up. 8 months later and 9,200 miles on the odometer, hasn't burned a drop of oil.

:tup:

Same here. Funny how the folks that built the motor seem to know how to operate it, eh?

I always laugh when people think they can tell anything substantive about break in procedures 9000 street miles into a cars life.

agree. most probably won't own the car long enough to deal with the side effects.

but then look at all those posts about oil temp, people are way too sensitive

My mustang 5.0 used 1 quart per 900-1200 miles depending on the viscosity used. It did this from day one after my mechanic broke it in by running the dog **** out of it for half an hour after it idled up to temp. Now, he's just my cousin and not my mechanic, no matter how many 11 second cars he built in the 70's.

Nice puppy you got there.

thanks. she is not a pup, she is like 6 or something

Is so small.

No kidding!
