Once you hit 5500, let not thee short-shift, after waiting so long, letting it zing to redline is just too blissful to pass up...life's too short to short shift

ENJOY!!!

I have 500 miles since January and don't really care about taking it to the redline as soon as i get 600 miles (1000km).
Redline won't hurt your engine after 1000km, everything is perfectly sealed after that.

My neighbor just traded his 2000 C2 cab and bought a 06 C4 cab. He has 200 miles on it in a week and will break it in per the manual. I'm glad my GT3 is broken in (3200) miles and I don't have to keep it under 4000 rpm again.

You guys need to get out and drive your cars. That's what they were built for; to be driven... hard!
