I've never heard of any true studies being performed to compare break-in methodologies. What we need is a real scientific study comparing a single model of car....some driven hard from day 1 while another group driven gingerly for the first 1200mi as a control. Then we compare outcomes in terms of mechanical problems, oil burn rate, etc to see which group faired better.

Fair enough.

I guess I always take the side of caution.

I really love this car and the performance and handling it will bring, and frankly can't wait for my ODO to tick by the 1200 marker.

Enjoy !

I did a burnout today (on a clean, private road), and at 1200 miles of mildly aggressive driving (thus you know about my opinion on break-in), I FINALLY had the tires squeal!

So, for those who believe that this tire model is quiet with wheelspin: are my tires an anomaly, or do these tires really need time to gain their full gripping ability?

(Note: my prior burnouts (on clean, private roads) produced lots of wheelspin but no noise. I could FEEL my tires more this time, it felt like there was more friction between the tires and road...)
