Getting very excited as finally collecting my 991 Carrara White C2S tomorrow afternoon. Packed with more options than you can poke a stick I'm going to be busy figuring it all out. Thanks all for your advice in getting it together. Hope to post some driving pics soon.

 

Congratulations!!! Resist the urge of hitting the Dark Side that exists above 4,000 rpm....!

 

Forget about resisting the urge, just vary the revs and do what comes natural.

Enjoy!

 

Eh eh. That's what I did!

 

thanks indeed. typically how many kilometres/miles should i run in before letting her rip?

 

Pretty awesome. Congrats and enjoy!

 

What i did was (is) always warm up the engine really well. Maybe during the first 100 miles (an hour...) I wouldn't abuse it. But these engines are pre-tested so i think it's safe.

Im at 8,000 miles now since November and every day it gets better.

I hope this helps. Enjoy the experience!

 

Your car looks awesome! Do what LRattner said and you should be fine. According to my salesmen, the Porsche driving instructors counsel the same.

 

Awesome Car,

Been wondering about the 4,000 RPM break-in limit myself.

Service Rep at dealer says to let her rip..., you won't hurt it. I've been observing the 4,000 RPM so far. One thousand miles to go and looking forward to it.

ENJOY!

 

Damn you Aussies pay alot for options, thats 25% of the base!!!!!!!

 

Isn't that the same everywhere?

Nice car BTW!

 

ha yes you are correct for those who order their cars... in fact its even more than 25%

I guess Ill rephrase: Damn you Aussies just pay alot for the cars in general.

 

I think it's more like: Damn, thoes cars are cheap in the U.S. LOL

But you're right, normally I think it's even more than 25% on options. I'm close to 40%

 

Not as bad % on options as I had. C2S Cab with additional 48.6% in options over base S Cab price in Canada!

 

That's a beauty!! Hopefully your getting some sleep
