Does it really matter where everyone shift's at. You'll still be doing your granny shifting.

Trovan - you're going to lose your mind the first time you bang it through the gears to redline. The engine doesn't really come alive (IMO) until 5000 rpm and the sound it makes beyond that is coooooool.
Your car's broken in man! I did the 'modified' plan (mine that is): was <4500 for 1000 miles, then did whatever I wanted except I avoided long flat out highway runs until 2000 miles. Car runs great!!!!

your modified plan sounds good. i am at 1400 miles now. so not too far from the 2k mark. but definitely will look for some opportunities to open up. thanks for all the advise.
