I followed my break-in per Porsche procedure. Then I changed the oil and filter and by 2100 miles I was circling a track in Sport Plus mode with a big smile on my face.

Do you have a link or a scan of that article, or the relevant break-in contribution ?
I don't have access to Excellence magazine.
