I was very surprised - please understand that this was a personal comment and not the official Porsche position. I would still be judicious about the revving the engine but it certainly seems to me that your upcoming car control event should not be a concern. Have fun.

PS: I am leaving town for 10 days without receiving my car; certainly hope to pick it up the day I return!

Newman,

First and most importantly, safe travels!
Second, I am also please with the comment - it mirrors what I have been hearing, unofficially, from my own dealer - though they said keep it out of sport plus for 1,000 miles - and I fully accept that that is not the official line.
Third, I am sorry that your torture is being dragged out unnecessarily. My car just got into port - literally 5 minutes ago - and it now looks like we will both be getting our cars late next week or early the week after. Gives us both something to look forward to.
