Aren't those the "break-in" instructions in the manual?

 

I only speak from personal experience
Picked up my CT in Leipzig and spent 2 months driving the shiatte out of it
Raced with bikers on the autobahn
Never washed,slept under a tree at my friends estate...bla-bla
12000 flawless miles...unreal

 

I was determined to follow the break-in rules for a change. To paraphrase (for the CD anyway) it was pretty much

1. Don't track it
2. Avoid emergency stops.
3. Avoid full throttle starts
4. Don't redline it (4k I think, but the CD readline is line 4250).

Since all the power of the CD is at the low end I couldn't fail!

Damn I love this thing

 

#1 tracked the biatch in Leipzig for Porsche driving school..check
#2 going full blast on the autobahn..had multiple hard braking stops(thank you PCCBs) check
#3 full throttle starts..are you fffn kidding me? check
#4 Duuude check

 

Since I hadn't read the manual yet I decided to keep it around 2k on the way home. I looked down coming off an on ramp (never going over 2k RPMs mind you) and was doing 70 without realizing it. That put a big smile on my face.

That's always been the fun/scary part of the 996 too. It's so effortless that you look down and realize you are doing a ridiculous speed and all the while wondering why it seems everyone is doing 10 under

 

The effortless torque of the CD must be fun

 

congrats, lovely ^_^

 

Please don't paint the grill. It looks like a **** poor paint job where the body shop was too lazy to remove the grill.

 

It looks nice even up on the truck. Congrats.

I am getting the same thing where I think I am at a normal speed and look down to see 80 MPH. WTF??

 

Nice memory of Normandy
